Ambrose Rathborne was an Australian mining engineer who moved first to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) as a coffee planter, & then in the 1880s to the Malay States, where he worked as a planter & entrepreneur. Camping & Tramping in Malaya: Fifteen Years in the Native States of the Malay Peninsula was first published in 1898, & is a lively & entertaining account of the author`s travels, with fascinating insights into the colonial personalities & working conditions of the day. An urge to find his own nirvana in the hills for planting Arabica coffee evidently drove Rathborne`s initial years in Malaya, & his chief legacy is his role in surveying for the alignments of the first long-distance roads in Malaysia. As Malaysia develops & matures as a nation state, interest will surely grow in its early formative years. Rathborne`s Camping & Tramping is an excellent place to start, & as easy to read as a good novel.
