This independent guide accepts a small number of contributed pieces when they help a visitor plan and when they meet the same bar as the rest of the site. We are not a guest-post exchange, not a winery publicity desk, and not a place to republish a press release.
What we want
First-person walking notes that add conditions a static page cannot hold — for example, how a particular granite slab behaves after rain — if you can describe the behaviour without turning it into a dare. Historical research with citations to the Heritage Council, Battye Library, or Shire records. Natural-history writing that points at Atlas of Living Australia or park science, not at a guess.
What we will not run
Prices. Rankings. “Best cellar door” lists. Award tallies. Invented quotes. Events that are not on an official current calendar. Operator copy with a booking link dressed as journalism. Anything that treats Menang / Minang Country as empty scenery. Anything scraped from the old site or from another guide.
How to pitch
Use the contact form. Include your name, a two-sentence bio that states your connection to the district or to the subject, the working title, the sources you will cite, and a short sample. Do not send a finished thousand words until we ask. Do not send images you do not have the right to publish.
Editing
We edit for accuracy, tone, and the no-invention rule. We may decline a piece that is fine writing and still wrong for an independent planning site. Published contributors are named. Payment, if any, is discussed before work starts; this page does not invent a rate.
If you represent a business, you are welcome to send a factual correction about your own opening status. You are not welcome to buy a ranking.
