Producer, director and writer by trade; bushwalker and search & rescue volunteer by passion, Caro Ryan started LotsaFreshAir.com to inspire, teach and encourage people to get into hiking and the outdoors safely.
It’s all about connecting people to wild places in meaningful ways, so they can look after themselves, their mates and these precious places we visit.
She teaches wilderness navigation, authored the book, ‘How to Navigate - the art of traditional map & compass navigation in an Australian context’ and hosts, ‘Rescued - an Outdoor Podcast for Hikers and Adventurers.
A full-writer member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers, she has written for Australian Traveller, BBC Travel, Outdoor, Jetstar, Wild Magazine, Great Walks Magazine, NSW National Parks and Wildlife and We Are Explorers. She is a regular guest across ABC Radio NSW chatting about all things hiking and bushwalking on ‘Weekends with Simon Marnie’.
This guide is concise, well structured and full of clear explanations. The spiral binding, layout and pictures are really helpful. I felt like Caro was alongside me providing an engaging series of lessons on navigation in the Australian wilderness. Highly recommended.
