About the Author

Kirianna and Lachlan (Lockie) and their three kids - Riley, Alba and Elise - are best known for their hugely popular Instagram page @theslowroad_ which has 168K followers.

Kirianna is a Kiwi and Lockie is Australian; after the pandemic grounded Lockie's career as pilot, they travelled all around Australia in their custom-made kombi.
