Synopsis "Wandering Pilgrim: Boyhood Travels and An Engineer at Work"

John Dunlop, self-styled as The Wandering Pilgrim, has spent a lifetime documenting his travels, inspired from boyhood by Grimm's Fairy Tales-especially East of the Sun and West of the Moon.Volume III presents diaries and accounts written at the time of the events, illustrated with contemporary photographs. It falls into two parts: fourteen boyhood travel stories from exploring and hitchhiking across Australia, followed by twenty-six accounts from his early career as a mining engineer after graduating from Melbourne University around 1971-working at mines, then freelancing as a minerals consultant in remote locations worldwide.Like Volumes I (dedicated to alpine climbing and Himalayan mountaineering) and II (Tasmanian wilderness walks), this book preserves the original voice-from youthful exuberance to maturing style-offering personal adventure and valuable historical insights.Born in Melbourne in 1950, son of the renowned "Weary" Dunlop, John twice hitchhiked around Australia before finishing school, worked as an underground miner and on offshore oil rigs, and visited war-torn Vietnam with his father in 1965.A distinguished engineering career followed, spanning mine operations, senior management, and thirty years of global consulting in remote regions. Throughout, he carved out time for wilderness escapes-to "feed the rat"-building a remarkable sixty-year chronicle of travel.Today he lives at his remote rainforest retreat in Far North Queensland. The Wandering Pilgrim series forms a vivid, progressive autobiography captured across seven decades.
