Extraordinary Travels of an Ordinary Housewife - Paperback

Diane Jones was in her late forties before she could follow her dream of travelling the world, pretty much on a shoestring budget and the more exotic the destination the better. On an expedition in Irian Jaya she traded head hunting arrows for salt, she joined gap year kids for months on overland trucks around South America and Africa, and even crossed paths with six of Australia's lethal snakes on backpacking adventures. This memoir, based on her humorous journals of thirty-five years, describes and catalogues some of her most memorable trips.
