I’m Brodie Burns-Williamson, a Melbourne author drawn to the historical figures who connected Asia and the wider world.
I’ve been studying Mandarin for many years, including the Sichuanese dialect, which is why I write in English and use plenty of 中文 sources.
On The Beaten Track, the story of George Ernest Morrison's quiet journey across southwest China in 1894, is my latest book.
I have a day job. All views expressed here are personal and do not represent those of my employer.
