Visiting the Neighbours: Australians in Asia

A timely and provocative book that shows us that the Asian Century isn’t as new as we think it is. A million Australians went to Bali last year, following the millions of others who have made their way across Asia over the past century. Many travellers returned thinking they knew Asia - and their personal experiences helped shape popular attitudes.

This absorbing book unpacks their experiences, showing how their encounters changed the way Australians thought about Asia.
