"She sold everything, ditched her plans, flew across the globe... and got more than she could ever have bargained for!"
The Jacaranda Trail
A Journey of Discovery Down Under
Would you just sell everything, ditch your plans
And buy a ticket to the other side of the world?
In her twenties, the author did just that –
And got much more than she could ever have bargained for…
Raised in England of British-Australian parentage, the author sells her possessions and flies to her birthplace in Sydney with no solid plans or timetable in mind.
Discovering by chance that she has another sister, a whole new world opens up: from living on a camel farm and picnicking with kookaburras, to paddock baths, unconventional lifestyles, City Farming and much, much more…
But, before she returns to England, she has one last thing to do: to go in search of her grandmother — the woman who left her daughter to be brought up by cruel nuns in an orphanage…
This book is an easy read, never stops moving and will appeal to a wide range of readers, including lovers of travel writing, family history buffs and those interested in less conventional lifestyles.
"Not so much a how-to of family history research,
as what can happen when the results are in."
Chapter titles include:
Letting the Possum out of the Bag
Rainbow Pants Not Essential
Bald as a Blue-Tongued Lizard, and
WWOOFing with Pigs.
FAUX REVIEWS by PSEUDO-CELEBRITIES
Here are just a few of the author's infamous 'faux reviews' of the spurious kind for The Jacaranda Trail…
Onya, Sheila! Couldna written it better meself… but that's probably 'cos I can't read ner write too well…
Crocodile Dundee ('Mick' to his mates)
It's about time a few more women stood up & wrote books. Mind you, it's more comfortable if you sit down to do it.
