Tahiti And South Pacific

Tropical South Pacific

The islands of the South Pacific held a special allure for McCallum. He made nine separate voyages to the South Pacific and even journeyed there quite late in his life when in his 70‘s.

Adventures

McCallum enjoyed the climate, the beaches, and the tropical food. He island-hopped, he swam, he toured plantations, and visited the home of famed Scottish writer, Robert Louis Stevenson.

He also had a fondness for Polynesian girls (which he referred to as “native girls” and/or “brown milk”).
