About the Book

With cyclones Wanda and Tracy acting as bookends, the O'Briens swap their comfortable suburban home in Brisbane for a 17.5 foot caravan and the adventures of a lifetime. Travel along with Phoebe, her mum, Stephanie, stepdad, Glen, older sister, Babette, younger siblings, Benny, Becky and Danny, as she takes us along for the ride, travelling across Western New South Wales, into Victoria, through South Australia and across The Nullarbor Plain into Western Australia - and then back home and up the Queensland Coast! Although nearly 45 years have passed since that trip, Phoebe relies on her own memories, flavoured with a little Google research and seasoned with her mother's memories, to describe how it felt to see this vast country of Australia. In her owns words: "When all is said and done, my memory of 1974 is of a fun-filled, educational trip across the bottom half of this great country I still call home, wherever I happen to live." Perhaps her story can inspire you to live your dream, whatever it is, and wherever it will take you.
About the Author: Originally from Australia, I now live in West Yorkshire with my husband, my two daughters (my three sons having long since flown the nest) and our two dogs. I have always loved books - but I couldn't tell you who my favourite author is because I don't have just one! I loved reading Victoria Holt and Anya Setton as a teenager and went through a Sci-Fi / Fantasy stage with Isaac Asimov and Anne McCaffery. I discovered Tolkien in my early twenties and more recently I haunt Amazon for good reads on Kindle! I don't really have a favourite genre. I can read a book a night, and have to pace myself so I still have the energy to work and, more importantly, to write! Earliest childhood writing memories include a ghost story I wrote in Year 4 and a humorous story involving my head teacher's fear of thunderstorms in Year 6. Sadly I no longer have copies of these and would have loved to revisit them to see how my style has developed over the years. I have published two short story collections which also have some poetry, essays and articles thrown in, and am still working on my first novel(s). I'm too easily distracted by easier projects, like my current offering - my memoir of my family's trip around Australia when I was but a child!
