Meet the Author

Hi, I’m Caitlin Krndija a primary school teacher with a passion for adventure, storytelling, and watching young minds light up with imagination. Inspired by Australia’s incredible landscapes and my beautiful nephews’ love for exploring, I created Banjo & Rusty’s Big Adventure to encourage children to explore, dream, and discover the wonder in the world around them. When I’m not in the classroom or writing, you’ll find me chasing new adventures and soaking up every bit of inspiration this beautiful country has to offer!
