Marg Wade

Marg grew up in the Blue Mountains NSW and came to Canberra as a young teacher. She very quickly fell in love with the city and its surrounds.

Tired of hearing so much negativity from people who didn’t understand the city, she decided to write her first book about its true character, exposing the hidden gems and ‘secrets’ within.

That original book was titled Canberra’s Secrets and published in 1999. It was an instant success.

Due to demand, she subsequently published an updated 2nd edition and then the 3rd edition in 2018. Around 12,000 copies of these informative guide books have been sold.

Wonderful. Canberra is so much more than the tired old clichés of politicians and roundabouts.

– Alex Sloan, 2017 Canberran of the Year
