If Brian Robson, Melbourneâs air-borne âmigrant in a box,â had contacted the Immigration department when he came out of gaol in Brisbane on April 27, he would now be back home in Cardiff, Wales â without cost.
Robsonâs friends discovered in Melbourne yesterday that his highly dangerous trip home was unnecessary.
The Immigration department had already decided to send him back to Cardiff, Wales, free of cost.
Robson will appear in a Los Angeles court today to face charges of illegally entering the U.S.A. following his 8000-mile trip from Melbourne in as wooden crate measuring 36 in. by 30 in. by 38 in.
