Use our Australia travel blog as a resource to help you plan your trip. You’ll find everything including inspiration, information and reasons to visit Australia. For example, did you know there are 19 UNESCO World Heritage sites in Australia, and more than 10,000 beaches covering over 50,000 km to explore?
You’ll also find useful blog posts on what to pack depending on where and the time of year you are travelling. When it comes to your backpack, less is definitely more – more convenient, easier to haul around and even easier to organise and find stuff on your travels.

Either way, you’re getting your travel tips from a seasoned Aussie expert, who’s been there, seen it and done that – and can help you avoid the pitfalls and make the most of your Aussie adventure.
