A frank travelogue that reflects upon Australia's natural beauty and majestic history as well as the author's personal quest, Inside Out Down Under blends wonder, exploration, spirituality, and joy into a thoroughly satisfying travelogue experience.
Midwest Book Review

Inside Out Down Under is so full of love and wisdom and adventure, it made cry. Somerville offers us a gorgeous songline that runs through her circle of women into the circle of Aboriginal Australia and back again in dreamtime. Anyone who reads this will be truly transformed.

I loved your journey to the sweat lodge the most, it showed me something that's going on in Australia that I had no idea about, I loved your response the Australian landscape . . . and in fact your response to the whole town and its inhabitants.

I loved your honesty and the open hearted way you approached people and the project.

Congratulations on an enjoyable read and an interesting outsiders perspective on our culture and place.

From a literary perspective, Inside Out/Down Under is a joy to read. Diana is a writer by trade and her travelogue of the beauty, the challenges and the damage done to landscapes, outer and inner, geographical and spiritual, are carefully and creatively crafted for maximum awareness as well as reading pleasure.
