AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Journalist Dominic Dunne's travels have rarely been ordinary, despite
his best intentions. He has been travelling all his life, from the time
his parents started their annual pilgrimage to the opal fields of
Lightning Ridge. Since then he has trekked all over Australia and to
some 60 countries, spending his life trying to satisfy his insatiable
appetite for travelling, an addiction that has taken him to wonderful
and sometimes dangerous places where he has met all manner of people. In
this book Dominic uses insight and wit and a good dollop of gossip to
capture the highlights (and lowlights) from destinations the world
over. Dominic takes readers backstage with Nana Mouskouri in Greece and
in search of the ghosts of Elvis Presley in Mississippi. He escapes
marauding Americans at Noel Coward's Jamaican sanctuary, crosses cranky
guards in North Korea, rubs shoulders with Hillary Clinton in Washington
and solves a life-long mystery in Zimbabwe. And he meets his namesake,
the best-selling American author Dominick Dunne, with whom he forges an
enduring friendship.' (Publisher's blurb)
