George Dunn Travel Articles
Swagman #26 – The End of the Line – Queenstown, New Zealand George Dunn contemplates his time away from home. Swagman #17 – Magnetic Island: The Battle for Cabin 27 – Magnetic Island, Australia Magnetic Island is like visiting a small community that lies within a zoo, as George found when he came up against some territorial possums. Swagman #15 – The Sugar Drive to Cairns – Cairns, Queensland, Australia George found that there is really very little to do in Cairns but rest, drink, and risk your life on any of the latest adventure crazes sweeping through. Swagman #2 – Expect Nothing, Accept Everything – Nadi, Fiji Swagman #1 – Leaving Home – New York City, New York Swagman #4 – RSA and Me As George quickly discovered, serving beer in NSW is not just a case of turning up at the pub and asking for a job. Swagman #3 – American Alien – Sydney, Australia Swagman #6 – Saturday Night’s All Right For Fighting – Sydney, Australia Swagman #5 – The Apartment, The Job – Sydney, Australia The apartment has become a revolving door of tenants, and George found a job in one of the roughest pubs in Sydney. Swagman #9 – Short Days, Long Nights and the United Nations of Quarryman’s – Sydney, Australia It's a bit ironic to travel around the world to a country and not encounter anyone from that country, but that's exactly the situation George finds himself in at the end of his second month.
George Dunn lost a day of his life on the way to Fiji, but the price was worth paying after just a few days in Nadi. 
George Dunn's smooth departure was in direct contrast to his younger brother's. 
George's first days in Sydney are no holiday. He gets lost, almost killed crossing the street, and he has to share a bed with his brother. 
For anyone thinking of travelling to Australia and working in a pub, George Dunn gives a blow by blow (literally) account of a night's work.
