A landmark collection in Australian literary culture, Australians Abroad brings together a rich array of writing by Australians who ventured beyond their homeland to engage with the wider world. Edited by Charles Higham and Michael Wilding, the anthology gathers prose and verse from some of Australia's most notable literary figures, presenting their experiences, observations, and reflections on life outside the continent. The collection chronicles the distinct perspective of the expatriate Australian voice — restless, searching, and defined by distance — capturing a national identity tested and refined through travel, exile, and encounter. Witty in places, melancholic in others, it remains an important document of Australian cultural and literary history, illustrating how the country's writers have long grappled with their relationship to the rest of the world.
