1 Malinowski i Witkacy w Australii Lech Paszkowski , 1972 1972 single work essay
— Appears in: Zielona zima : Antologia poezji i prozy polskiej w Australii 1997; (p. 320-348)

A biographical essay about the travels to Australia of Polish anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski (1884-1942) and modern Polish artist and writer Stanisław Witkacy (Witkiewicz) (1885-1939). Malinowski and Witkacy were childhood friends, and made a joint voyage from Poland to Australia in 1914; Malinowski returned to Australia alone in 1916-1917 and 1918-1920. Paszkowski notes that Malinowski began to draft his famous work Argonauts of the Western Pacific while at the State Library of Victoria in 1918, and that he married his Australian wife Elsie Masson in Melbourne in 1919. The author suggests that Malinowski's years in Australia helped to facilitate his entry into the world of English-speaking anthropology before his move to England in 1920. Paszkowski also considers the influence of Witkacy's visit to Australia on three plays he wrote between 1920 and 1921, including Mister Price czyli Bzik Tropikalny (Mister Price or the Tropical Madness) (1920).

An autobiographical essay reflecting on the author's experiences (apparently as a ship's officer) on board a cargo ship travelling between Tasmania and Victoria. The essay takes the form of diary entries, dating from 20 December 1954 to 5 January 1955. The author describes other members of the ship's crew including the Polish Australian captain, the weather at sea, and the various places they stop at along the Tasmanian coast, focussing on the town of Currie, King Island, where they spend Christmas. The title refers to King Island, known for its 57 shipwrecks.
