What Carys writes about

Carys concentrates on the practicalities: where to park, what the track is like, how much food fits in a pack and what hard weather does to a plan. She says she has put together regional itineraries over the years. She checks details such as parking, and whether a ‘relaxed’ wine day really is relaxed.

On wine regions, she says she sets aside tasting-room talk and goes to see what growers are doing on the ground. Her guides cover wine regions such as the Barossa and McLaren Vale, and the logistics of walking the Grampians Peaks Trail in the Grampians (Gariwerd).
