About the photographer/Author: Outback Jess has over 10 years experience as a Tour Guide throughout Australia, including iconic locations as Uluru, the Kimberley, Karijini, Perisher, Far North Queensland and Whitsundays. She has also travelled two laps of Australia.

Aware of the sheer distances between places, she created Spotto Books for her kids, to help them handle being stuck in the car for long road trips. She wanted them looking out the window and falling in love with Australia. When she trialled them, she was blown away how well they entertained her kids. She knew she had to help other families, so she decided to make Spotto Books for everyone.
