During my extended maternity leave, I started a food and travel blog, The Hungry Australian, where I posted stories and recipes, reviews, photography and interviews.

The Hungry Australian was the national winner of the Australian Writers’ Center’s Best Australian Blogs 2014 competition, over 1,100 other blogs. I also won the Outstanding Use of Photography award in the same competition the previous year for my story on Dubai’s markets and souks.

That picture on the left? The Hungry Australian was featured in Apple’s iPad marketing activities for the Australian market, and shown on apple products across on the Apple Australia website.

In 2017 I retired from blogging to focus on other projects. But The Hungry Australian remains online as a love letter to food, travel and story-telling, and a recipe resource.
