G’Day, I’m Sharyn.

The Aussie behind Discover Australia Now and I love sharing my country with you. I’m a lady who travels Australia solo, with friends and with my family. I’ve done ‘the big lap of Australia’ and now do lots of day trips, weekends away and car camping road trips. My goal with this site is to help you discover Australia now – one icon, road trip, city, town, beach, hike and Aussie meal at a time. Join me and I might see you out there!
