Rhyanna Smedley Author

Rhyanna Smedley’s love of travel started when she was five, travelling all over Australia with her dad, Paul Smedley, each year. As soon as she was old enough to drive, she started taking road trips with her sister along the Great Ocean Road and to Uluru. At 19 years old she bought a Kombi, saved up some cash and headed off on a nine-year road trip that included helping her dad with rest area research for his books, Budget Rest Areas around Australia. Rhyanna now lives in north-eastern New South Wales and hits the road in her Kombi as often as she can.
