Bound for Australia on Board the Orient: A Passenger's Log (1885) is a historical account of a voyage from England to Australia on board the Orient, a steamship that was part of the Orient Line.

The book provides a detailed description of life on board a steamship in the late 19th century, including the daily routine, the food, the entertainment, and the social interactions among the passengers. Lilley also describes the various ports of call along the way, including Gibraltar, Malta, Suez, Colombo, and Melbourne.
