[Janelle]

Interesting and engaging, but it’s a book of its times so the inherent racism was confronting.

[Sotiris Makrygiannis · Rating 3 out of 5]

"The Boy Travellers in Australasia" captivates readers with its vivid portrayal of the diverse landscapes and cultures of the Australasian region. The narrative is both engaging and enlightening, masterfully blending elements of fiction with real-world observations. A standout section of the book delves into the early phases of settlement in New Zealand, and cannibalism practises of Papua NG offering a deep insight into the challenges and triumphs of those initial settlers. The author's ability to capture the essence of the region, from bustling cities to pristine wilderness, is commendable. This book is not just an entertaining travelogue but also serves as a valuable historical document. It's a must-read for those passionate about travel, history, and the unique allure of Australasia.

Narrated it as an audiobook for Librivox.com It was a worthy travel book from the late nineteenth century which I enjoyed reading out loud very much
