Born in NZ, she has been based in Queensland for the past 16 years and is in her second term as President of the Australian Society of Travel Writers.  ~  Whether it's a weekend away in south-east Queensland, a short break across the Tasman, or a journey to some of the world's most exotic locations, Lee promises something to whet your appetite for travel on her pages.
