Australian Holidays and Travel Guide

Carrie Hutchinson

Carrie Hutchinson is a writer and editor for publications and clients around the world. A transplant to Melbourne, she loves nothing more than sharing the riches of her corner of the world with others through her stories and images. Otherwise, her happy place is the ocean, especially if it involves swimming with large marine creatures. Sharks, wild dolphins, a cuttlefish congregation and manta rays have been eyeballed, and Carrie is now seeking out opportunities to splash with whales and marine iguanas.
