The Welshman who airmailed himself home from Australia in a crate CNN 1 hr ago © Tom King/Mirrorpix/Getty Images Brian Robson has written a book about his ordeal. He d only just arrived in Australia from Wales, but teenager Brian Robson quickly realized that he d made a big mistake by emigrating to the other side of the world. Unfortunately the homesick 19-year-old didn t have the money to cover the cost of abandoning the assisted passage immigration scheme he d traveled with in 1964, as well as his return flight home. After realizing his options were pretty limited, Robson, from Cardiff, hatched a plan to smuggle himself onto a plane in a small box and travel back in the cargo hold.

Thinking inside the box: the Welsh teen who tried to post himself home from Australia Naaman Zhou © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Getty Images A Welsh man has issued a public call to help find two Irish men who helped him return home from Australia in 1965 by packing him up and mailing him in a crate. Brian Robson, a 75-year-old from Cardiff, is looking for two men he only knew as Paul and John. Robson was a 19-year-old working for Victorian Railways when he became homesick. But the airfare would have cost about £700 and he only made £40 a month, he told the Irish Times.
