Author Bio
Catherine Proctor is a freelance author, digital storyteller and editor who has also written and co-authored several other books for Australian Geographic and Woodslane, including The Caravan & Campervan Cookbook; Australian Geographic Blue Mountains; Sydney for Dogs; Sydney’s Best Picnic Spots, Parks and Reserves; and Sydney’s Best Beaches and Rock Baths. With a surf-mad husband, two active boys and a passion for travel, Catherine’s weekends and holidays have always revolved around getting out into the great outdoors as much as possible. As her kids have grown the activities and their interests have changed and so this book includes ideas she has used with her own children from toddlerhood right through to the teenage years. When she’s not writing, Catherine runs her own craft business and cookery school. However, the recipes and activities in this book have been tried, tested and given the stamp of approval by her harshest judges, her own family!
