Diary of a Wild boy

 Kia Ora,

Today I am sharing with you some information about this awesome book Diary of a Wild boy


  • Brando was bored in life and needed to turn it around so he set a mission to walk around the coastline of New Zealand


  • He brought with him a hunting knife, sleeping bag, water and food, tent and more essentials.


  • He spent 600 days walking around the coastline.


  • While the big walk he ran out of food and hunted pigs and cows and other wild animals.


  • While he was on the walk he was hungry and saw 3 pigs. He charged at them with his hunting knife and 2 got away and one he caught. The pig squealed and Brando tied the pig up not knowing what to do. He went back to get his hunting knife and on the way he locked eyes with the pigs mother. The mother pig ran at him, Brando climbed into a tree remembering the advice his uncle told him. "If you're ever chased by a pig climb a tree" He jumped off the tree onto the pig and wrestled it until it got worn out and he killed them.


  • He walked to Kahurangi Coast and said it was his favourite part of his walk. They're was thousands and thousands of nikau palms, limestone cliffs which he described as giant cheese graters. They're were also birds, animals and seafood.


  • Brando was walking around Canterbury coast which is just a big cliff and on the 4th day he was met by a sheep which had fallen onto the beach. She was stuck tired and hungry so Brando hand fed her some grass and named her Bettie. He helped her into a sheep pen.


  • After the huge 600 day walk he felt happier in his life and saw everything different.
