The team

The Perth Tourism team

Meet the writers behind Perth Tourism.

Mick Gallagher
Tours & experiences editor

Mick handles anything with an operator and a meeting point — day trips, multi-day adventures, fishing charters, reef runs. He's been on more boats than he can count and has a particular love for small-group walks in the World Heritage areas of Tasmania and the Top End.

Tess Marlowe
Walks & trails editor

Tess has worn out more boots than she can count tramping the Bibbulmun and the Perth Hills. She writes up every walk we publish after actually doing it — water bottle, trail notes and all.

Beth Hartley
Caravan parks & camping

Beth's been scouting caravan parks across Australia since the van life thing was just called "going camping". Power site or unpowered, dump point or not, family-friendly or strictly grey-nomad — if it's got a number on a key tag, she's probably stayed there.

Dylan Cho
Bike paths & cycling

Dylan rides Perth’s PSPs and rail-trail loops most weekends and maps out the cycle routes here. If a path has a dodgy gravel patch or a great coffee stop, he’ll tell you.

Nina Forrest
Perth & WA destinations

Nina grew up in Fremantle and covers our destinations, day trips and things-to-do across WA — from Rottnest to the South-West karri country.

Sam Davies
Destinations & guides

Sam pulls the destination guides together from what our team has actually visited and what travellers tell us is worth the detour. Grew up between the Sunshine Coast and Adelaide; can argue for hours about which has the better beaches.

Jess Rowe
Travel writing & research

Jess writes the long-form pieces and tracks down the practical stuff travellers actually need — opening hours, road conditions, the unwritten rules locals know. Former remote-area nurse turned travel writer; still carries a snake-bite kit out of habit.
