description: Still carrying the juggling skills she picked up from hippies at the Kuranda market as a 12-year-old, Jayne finally got the chance to return to the land of the crocs, stingers and laid-back locals as a grown up, and see who'd changed the most. When she's not discovering her own backyard and teaching her four-year-old how to read maps, Jayne writes on travel, design, the environment and homes for newspapers, magazines and her blog.
