Summary/Abstract: One of the important forms of literature within the Islamic culture is travelogue, though it is undergoing a rapid decline as a result of various cultural changes. But travelogue can still well be a useful source for understanding far-off worlds and learning about their sights and functioning. It is especially effective if it offers, along with a description of places some social and cultural insight. Such insight is given in an essay “A view upon Australia in the month of Ramadan”. This article has an ambition to offer some basic historical, demographic and cultural information about Australia. However, the focus of this article is upon the Islamic Community of Bosniaks in this part of the world, their status, historical development and activities. The author here introduces us to a great number of jamaats and their individual members who have a key role in gathering the dispersed Bosniak community in this area.
