Year 9 student Emma Charteris has been chosen as one of only 10 finalists in The West Australian’s Young Travel Writer competition! Emma captured the towering trees of the Karri forest in her depiction of the beautiful South West. She’s already received a Canon SX60 HS camera for her achievement, and is now in the running to take part in an expedition to Dirk Hartog Island.

Well done Emma!
