'Now, in Sailing Home, we can all share in the excitement of this modern maritime adventure - from the time the ships left London on 27 April 1987 to their arrival in Sydney on 26 January 1988.  Sailing on a square-rigged ship is essentially a visual experience - words alone cannot convey the beauty and exhilaration of looking across the sea from your ship and seeing two, three, sometimes seven other square-riggers sailing with you - and so Sailing Home is a stunning pictorial record of the re-enactment and celebration of one of man's greatest adventures, a celebration of Australia.
