Scope and Contents
This forty-fourth new series collage page of the Dante Diary is titled "Dante Down Under." It includes a map of Australia with Phillips' itinerary drawn in green ink. The trip, according to his 1988 planner started in Sydney on March 8th, continued to Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin. He departed Australia on April 7th.

He also collaged onto the page cards from Aristotle's Restaurant ("If in Sydney don't eat here!"), the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia Bank (with the name Toge, protagonist of A Humument), Adelaide Festival and a card from Francesca da Rimini ("She seems to be some kind of punk performance artist"). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
