Digital Swaggie Publishing is an independent adventure-travel publishing business focused on long-form narrative works that document place, movement, and lived experience.
Its primary catalogue includes motorcycle travel memoirs that explore regional and remote Queensland, combining journey-based storytelling with cultural, historical, and geographic insights.

My name is Gary Wood, and I’m an author, travel writer and public speaker. I combine adventure, research, and applied communication to create work that informs, inspires, and engages. From exploring Queensland’s remote landscapes on motorcycle journeys to designing technical content and training solutions, my work bridges the gap between storytelling and practical clarity.

Adventure & Travel Writing

• Queensland Trilogy: coast, outback, and tropical North Queensland
• Deeply researched, culturally grounded, and immersive
• Workshops, field-based writing sessions, and speaking engagements

Technical Writing & Communication

• Workbooks, online courses, and corporate training materials
• Clear, structured, and usable content for organisations and teams
• Combines strategic thinking with practical application

Every project is an opportunity to design unique experiences and to capture the spirit of a journey or translate complex ideas into actionable insight.
