Food & wine, travel & lifestyle - freelance writing Tasmania

Since we live in one of the world's most beautiful places, I write occasional freelance pieces about food and wine, tourism, travel and lifestyle in Tasmania. Occasionally I take photographs, and I work with the Tamar Valley Wine Route as Communications Officer. My stories appear in Tasmania 40 South magazine, Good Food in The Age/SMH, Graziher, Selector and BBC Travel. If you're an editor looking for copy from a Tasmanian local, we're made for each other.
