Australians have always been long-distance travellers, but the trip to Europe has changed. The leisurely shipboard approach to the grand tour and cultural pilgrimage has been overtaken by jet travel and the transitory visit.
This lively collection offers an array of writing from the 1960s to the 1990s. With Europe as the focus, the lure of travel is explored in selections from the fiction, poetry, non-fiction, journalism and autobiography of Australia's leading writers. Travellers arrive at new perceptions of their own culture as well as of those they visit.
