This is a chronicle of a journey that never ends. It is the story of the Famous White Hat and of the people and places it has seen.

In 2002 the Famous White Hat grew up. The Hat travelled in New Zealand. And the Hat travelled through Europe, learning to read Deutsch street signs and sampling Guinness in Dublin and stradling the line of 0 degrees longitude at Greenwich in England. The Famous White Hat even met Australian cricketer Justin Langer after he had made 250 against the Poms at the MCG.

In 2003 the Famous White Hat climbed mountains in Nepal & (much smaller ones) in Victoria. The Hat was sick in the Simpson Desert, so sent a replacement. But the Hat was well enough to walk the Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia.

In 2004 the Famous White Hat slept.

In 2005 the Famous White Hat woke up in tropical Darwin..!
