About this book

Crowded wharves, hurried train rides and formal receptions give Annie Brassey's account of travel a busy, personal rhythm. Her final journal records a voyage to India and Australia in the yacht Sunbeam, with chapters covering ports and inland visits along the route. In South Australia, cheering visitors greet the yacht, while Brassey moves between shipboard hospitality, Government House and an inspection of Adelaide's exhibition buildings.

The volume brings together diary entries, illustrations and a memoir, with editorial explanations of how Brassey's notes were prepared for publication. Her failing health affects the pace and fullness of the record, and the introduction describes her work for the St. John Ambulance Association.
