YA a book set in Australia about a boy who runs away on a train after school instead of going home read in 1990s

I remember a moving story which I want to share with my son.

The book itself was a hardback white coloured.

Any help appreciated!

How old was the boy, teenager or a younger child?

Was this historical fiction, or set in the modern day?

[Azahar]

Modern day - the boy goes on a commuter train after school .. .

[Azahar]

Teenager school age..

Feral Tracks?

Based on the true story of the author as a 16 year old schoolboy who ran away from home with four dollars in his pocket and hitchhiked around Australia.
