Fred's Diary 1981

By Robert Fear

Fred’s Diary 1981: Travels in Asia, proves that reality is usually more interesting than fiction. This book features the author - who could be anyone’s friend - travelling through Asia in his mid-twenties and experiencing a series of adventures that test his resilient and likable character. The aim of the book, however, is not about getting into the author’s mind, it is a diary and, because of this format, it brings to life the subculture of young western – Australian and New Zealanders included in the definition - travelers/adventurers crossing Asia in the early eighties. Like other travelers, Fred is out there to enjoy freedom and the relative wealth that his European currency provides him. However, in the process, what he ends up discovering is himself during his 6 month existence beyond the walls of western civilization.
