This anthology of poems is inspired, for the main part, by my seven month road trip around Australia in 2009. While most definitely have their feet firmly planted on Australian soil, many can easily translate across international boundaries.I hope you enjoy the poems and that they inspire you to get on the road and have a look for yourself. Rosa is an Australian living in northern Queensland, though she has lived in many countries for periods varying from 6 months to 3 years.Poetry was Rosa's introduction to writing and her first steps were with Bush Poetry under the guidance of Melanie Hall. This was a great base from which she branched out into free verse.She gained her Master of Arts from James Cook University in 2012, where she was mentored by Professor Lindsay Simpson.Rosa is now writing novels (Crime novels as Percy Rose, children's as RosieO'Grady, and all other writings as herself.)When not writing Rosa can be found in the garage splashing paint, or on the beach walking her dog, Sinbad.
