Sarah Tayler lives on the Tweed Coast with her husband and children. As well as a slightly unhealthy obsession with gardening, Sarah loves exploring with her family—teaching the next generation of adventurers to love the outdoors and figuring out how to pack the innumerable snacks they require. She has selected and updated the best walks from WLPs previous Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast walking guides and added a few new ones of her own to the mix. Dianne McLay, Virginia Balfour and Alan Ernst were the authors of those three guides.
