Di Westaway | Chief Adventure Chick | Wild Women On Top

Let adventures unfold...

Life's like that pile of books you have on your bedside table. The varied pile is made up of books you bought or borrowed or were given, that at some time spoke to you, or connected you with a thought or a lesson or a story you strongly needed to read at the time.
Mum, we'll be more than okay. Now GO!

By Sammy Page | Marketing Assistant Wild Women On Top
It’s 5pm on a Friday afternoon yet the weekend seems miles away. To your left is a stack of papers, tasks and projects that demand your time for their completion and on the right is your phone, buzzing madly with messages from the kids, asking “what’s for dinner mum?”

Di Westaway | Chief Adventure Chick | Wild Women On Top
When the alarm kills delicious dozing on a dark winter’s morning or your lover tempts you with a glass of red as you snuggle up together on the couch, it takes an iron will to honour your commitment to a walk in the cold.

Our magazine took its first breath, so to speak, on a cycling trip to Cambodia. We cycled, with 19 other women, almost 400km around Cambodia whilst raising awareness of Human Trafficking.

Lord Howe, we did it!

By Lisa Marshall | Director Wild Women On Top

From the minute you land at the small airstrip and see the lush, tropical mountainside of Mt Gower and Lidgbird, you know you have found paradise.

Why I don’t want any presents for Mother’s Day
