A self-confessed road trip junkie who loves getting away from the crowds in wild and remote places, she believes 'that any excuse to hit the road is a good one.' Lee is the author of 16 travel books and two smartphone apps about travelling in and around Australia and co-editor of two anthologies of travel writing, as well as a contributor to Explore Australia’s Camping Around Australia guide and the road tripping bible, Explore Australia.  Her most recent books published by Hardie Grant Explore are Ultimate Road Trips, Ultimate Coastal Road Trips Australia, and the best-selling Ultimate Road Trips Australia. See www.leeatkinson.com.au.
