Inveterate Aussiephile Andrew Swaffer travelled and worked on and off for several years around parts of Asia, Australia and New Zealand while attempting to hold down various jobs in book publishing in the UK. Australia was always his first love and so, after working in the sales department at Footprint for a year, he went on a two-year odyssey of epic proportions to write his part of the guide. Andrew now juggles the dual roles of co-author of Footprint's West Coast Australia Handbook and a marketing position at Footprint's Australian distributors in Sydney, where he has also been the publisher of a very successful series of walking and outdoor guides.
