In the Autumn #52 issue of Out & About with Kids, we share camping options heading into the cooler months, check out the 2017 Aussie and Kiwi ski season, and our contributors share their stories in our Family Traveller section, exploring destinations as far afield as Paris, Macao, Taiwan, Thailand and the Solomon Islands.
Autumn is the best time of year to go camping, as the days start to get cooler, there's more reasons to light a campfire (and melt marshmallows on it), the water's still warm and there are less annoying insects. We look at some of the lesser known camping destinations in New South Wales, and follow country music star Amber Poulton as she takes her family off the grid in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
And as it's already started snowing in the Australian Alps, it's a good time to start thinking about that Aussie or Kiwi ski trip. We check out everything that's new for families this winter, check out Corin Forest – the perfect place to take toddlers for their first snow experience, and interview one of Haka Tours new family ski guides.
In Family Traveller, our contributors cruise Fiji's remote Lau Islands with Captain Cook, sample the simple life in the Solomon Islands, seek out the best attractions for kids in Macao and discover Thainess on a homestay holiday. Editor Deborah Dickson-Smith finds that Taiwan is teen-friendly, while columnist Sue White is surprised at how baby-friendly Paris is – who knew?
We also take a look at family favourite, The Whitsunday Islands, and how quickly this destination has bounced back after Cyclone Debbie passed through.
Toddler specialist Sue White shares her top tips for tackling public transport, Luxury travel diva Monique Von Tulder explains the importance of 'Me Time' and accessible expert Julie Jones find Hamilton Island the perfect destination for families with accessibility needs.
And with this issue we also welcome new editor Deborah Dickson-Smith. Deborah has had a long association with the magazine and brings with her many years of experience in travel media – and travelling with kids, having travelled with her own since the eldest (now 22) was four months old.
