Zoe Taylor

Zoe started her career in journalism more than 15 years ago covering parish council meetings in tiny village halls in the Kent countryside in the UK and later specialised in health journalism, spending three years as a medical correspondent on the London Evening Standard before re-locating to Australia.
She was bowled over by the Aussie spirit before even arriving, after a visit to Bali turned into a working holiday while she reported on the 2002 terrorist bombings for papers in the UK and Australia. She has since worked as a news, health and court reporter and columnist for The Daily Telegraph and now fits in work around her two young children.

Led Zeppelin are responsible for my all-time favourite mixed metaphor: "There you sit, sit and stare, like a book on a shelf rusting." (Misty Mountain Hop) I laugh every time I hear it. Hmmm, I believe I've decided what to play on the way to work today. [read more]
