Summary "Advance Australasia: A Day-to-Day Record of a Recent Visit to Australasia" by Frank T. Bullen is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and impressions during a recent tour of Australasia, focusing on the contrasts between his initial visit and his observations on this current journey. Through descriptions of landscapes, societies, and political landscapes, Bullen reflects on the cultural and social evolution of the region. At the start of the text, the author reveals his initial journey to Australia thirty-four years ago and contrasts it with the streamlined experience on a modern steamship. He describes the changes in maritime travel and the improvements in passenger comfort, highlighting both joyful memories and the challenges faced on that first voyage. Bullen's detailed observations capture the beauty and intricacies of the Australian landscape, as well as the dynamics of human behavior, both on board and in port. As he moves through the regions, he begins to explore the social and political nuances of public life in places like Perth and Adelaide, hinting at the impact of historical events and the aspirations of its residents.
