Overview

A transcription of Western Australian youth's 1975 diary tracking his journey as he circumnavigates the globe over 349 consecutive days. His international journey begins with a ship's passage from Melbourne, through the Panama Canal, to England, then hitchhiking and local public transport through Europe and North Africa. He returns home via the 'Hippie Trail', rambling overland across South and Southeast Asia. Included are letters sent home, with annotated tourist brochure snippets, and contemporary explanations, expansions, and reflections. A travel adventure from a recent but bygone era; it charts the development of a young man from sheltered suburban naiveté to a nascent worldliness.

Author Information

Forty-plus years since travelling and hitchhiking 'Around the World in 349 Days', Jeff Harrison returned to London in 1996 as an information technology contractor after completing his Bachelor of Science. He began his working life with government departments in Perth, Western Australia, before transferring to the far north-west Kimberley region. Later years he worked in the mining industry in the Kimberleys. After eight years in London, he quietly retired to Byron Bay in northern New South Wales. Most days he enjoys his garden and mucking about with oil paints in his home studio. He also enjoys a glass of wine with dinner, if it's not an allotted alcohol-free day.
