Brian Robson was 19-years-old when he became homesick while working for Victorian Railways in 1965.
Realising that a plane ticket home would cost him £700 - 17 times his monthly salary - he devised a plan to get himself home.
The now 75-year-old bought a small wooden crate and convinced two Irishmen he knew as Paul and John to stow him aboard a freight plane, he told the Irish Times.
The "quite horrific experience” took four days and during the commute, Brian was repeatedly stored upside down.
