LEE ATKINSON

Two-time winner of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) Best Adventure Story Award, Lee Atkinson has been writing about her adventures on and off the road since 1991. A self-confessed ‘road-trip junkie’ Lee believes that any excuse to hit the road is a good one, and “if it’s a road less-travelled, well, that’s even better,” she says. Author of 12 travel books, her latest, Australia’s Best Nature Escapes, hits bookshops in October and is published by Hardie Grant Travel. @ozyroadtripper
