When Peter Moore announced he was going to travel home from London to Sydney without stepping on a plane, he was met with a resounding "why"? The answer was perversity and a severe case of hippie envy; hippies had the best music, the best drugs, the best sex. But most of all, they had the best trips.
Although his funds were woefully inadequate and his chances of actually making it through such notorious hot-spots as the former Yugoslavia, Iran and Afghanistan were, in a word, slim, Peter was never one to err on the side of caution. Over the next eight months he followed the trail overland to the East. It would prove to be a journey of exhilarating highs and, on occasions, frustrating lows.
His diverse experiences take us from the world's most expensive disco (in Albania), and the bombed-out villages of Croatia to the opium fields of Laos, student riots in Jakarta, and an all-night beach rave on a small island in Thailand. Best of all are Peter's encounters with a wonderful cast of often eccentric, at times exasperating and, once in a while, overly amorous characters.
