Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Indigenous people of Australia. They are not one group, but comprise hundreds of groups that have their own distinct set of languages, histories and cultural traditions 🌿

Connecting with the beauty of Australia is best experienced through the eyes of our Traditional Owners, who have used their knowledge of the land for thousands of years. Whether it’s through dance, art or traditional feasts, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people proudly practice and preserve their cultures by sharing it with travellers, like you. In Australia you’re not just a spectator, you’re invited to participate!

Wondering when to travel to Australia? We've got your back 🤙

Massive and diverse, it's always a good time to go backpacking in Oz! It is a whole continent, after all. In the Southern Hemisphere, seasons are reversed from the Northern Hemisphere. This means that English and American winter is Aussie summer, making it the perfect time to being your travel and beat the cold at home. ☀️

The coastal areas of NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and the southern part of Western Australia have temperate climates that make summer the perfect time to experience Australia’s lovely warm weather. Even if you travel Australia in winter, most regions don't experience very cold temperatures. It rarely gets below 0°C unless you are at the snow. ☃️

Queensland, Northern Australia, and the northern part of Western Australia are home to tropical climates that experience a rainy and dry season, much like Asia. The dry season runs during the winter from May to October. But don't let “winter” fool you, these climates remain fairly warm year round.

The outback of Australia is a desert climate that has hot days and cool nights. To make the most of Aussie weather, consider starting your journey in an area that is in peak season (i.e. Sydney or Melbourne in summer), then travelling around as the seasons change. ✈️

One of Australia's biggest waves is actually the furthest from the sea... Wave Rock in Western Australia rises 15 metres above the Outback. Over 2,700 million years in the making, today it's a hugely popular destination to head to when in WA 🚙

This 110-metre multi-coloured cliff is like a huge wave about to crash over the wilderness. Pose on the rock face and surf the wave, or see it from a different perspective by following the walk trails around the base and over the top. 🏄

The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage Listed 243km stretch of road along the South-Eastern coast of Australia. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, it's the World's Largest War Memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast, it provides access to several prominent landmarks and amazing insta-spots. 📸😍

The biggest highlight of this incredible drive is the Twelve Apostles, a set of limestone stacks believed to be around 20 million years old. These icons were created by cliffs being eroded over millions of years, leaving arches which eventually collapsed to form the stacks that exist today, some as high as 65m. Is the Great Ocean Road on your Australia backpacking bucket list? 📝
