"Christmas on the Briny, The Innocents Abroad" by W. Bede Christie is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts a holiday trip taken by the author and a group of residents from Geraldton to the picturesque Abrolhos Islands, exploring the natural beauty, fishing, and adventures they encounter. The narrative serves as both a personal journey and an exploration of a lesser-known holiday destination. The story begins with the group setting off on Christmas Eve aboard a fishing boat named the "While-away." Their journey unfolds with charming descriptions of the calm seas and the challenges of fishing. Upon reaching the Abrolhos Islands, they experience various activities, from camping to hunting wallabies and fishing, amidst the rustic surroundings. Throughout the account, the camaraderie among the travelers is palpable, infused with humorous mishaps, reflective moments, and a shared appreciation for the serene beauty of their environment. The narrative captures both the spirit of adventure and the simplicity of life in nature, making it a delightful read for anyone interested in travel, history, or the great outdoors.
