Need an article about walking?
An adventure writer?
Then this is the place!



I am passionate about the great outdoors and love writing about active travel in Australia and around the world.  My interests don't stop there though; an appetite for different cuisines, history, wildlife encounters, dance, textiles and the world's many wonders and vagaries
inspire my travels and colour my writing.

NEWS FLASH:
 

Inspired to write by two weeks 
of accommodated walking with ParkTrek 
on the Tasman Peninsula 
(spectacular dolerite rock formations) 
and the Tarkine 
(rainforest, rugged coast, aboriginal heritage, 
 and buttongrass moors)
