Abstract
In Sailing to Australia: Shipboard Diaries by Nineteenth-Century British Emigrants (1995), Andrew Hassam observed: "a city was praised for being like London; a countryside was viewed with suspicion if it behaved differently from a British countryside" (205). In his new book about Australian travellers who made the reverse voyage "home" from Australia to England, we find that a city praised for "being like London" might actually be London; the landscape being looked for and recognized actually was in Britain. Even those born in Australia wrote about their travels in Britain with a sense of recognition, an uncanny familiarity with the places they were to visit.
