Requirements: .ePUB reader, 48.8 Mb
Overview: In 1977, long before Instagram made van life glamorous, the Little family embarked on the ultimate road trip: 15,000 miles from Australia to England in a Toyota HiAce camper van. With four boys aged seven down to six months, Becky and Julian joined the legendary “overlanders” – intrepid travellers who drove the hippie trail across three continents when borders were open and adventure was unfiltered.
From the pristine beaches of Western Australia to the chaotic streets of Delhi, from hashish brownies in Goa’s hippie colonies to elephant rides at India’s Amber Fort, this is travel writing at its most authentic. Navigate the treacherous Nullarbor Plain, survive the terrifying Hindu festival of Holi, cross the legendary Khyber Pass, and experience the raw reality of 1970s overland travel. No smartphones, no GPS, just a hand-drawn map and boundless optimism.
Six Littles Go a Long Way captures a vanished world where travellers gathered around campfires in Kabul, where borders could be crossed with a smile and a handshake, and where a young family could drive from one side of the world to the other simply because they dreamed of doing it. Based on original diaries and told with humour, honesty, and remarkable detail, this is both an epic adventure story and a poignant snapshot of a more innocent age of travel.
For modern van lifers, digital nomads, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of the open road, this book reveals what travel looked like when the world was both bigger and smaller than it is today.
