Half a World Away

This book is a photojournal documenting the author's experiences and thoughts during many months travelling overland (mainly by train) from the southern tip of Vietnam up through China and Mongolia, then across Russia on the Trans-Siberian railway into western Europe. The journey then continues through such European countries as Finland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic before Adrian returns to his homeland of Australia for an adventure of a different kind; spending six weeks crossing the vast Australian continent alone on a motorcycle.

The book (and the journey) ends in the author's birth town of Hobart, on the picturesque island of Tasmania.
