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!

Getting around Sydney is easy on public transport! Ferries and harbour cruises are a memorable way to experience the beauty of one of the world’s great natural harbours. ⛵️

Hop on a ferry at Circular Quay for Taronga Zoo, Manly or Watsons Bay. You can also take a ferry to intriguing Sydney Harbour islands and Parramatta for delicious food and colonial heritage. Or jump aboard a Tribal Warrior cruise and explore Aboriginal culture, the world’s oldest living culture. 🌅

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. ✈️

DID SOMEONE SAY FREE VISAS? Australia is OPEN to all fully vaccinated visa holders - including working holiday visas! If you're ready to shake things up and get abroad, Australia is calling - and there's a bonus. 📞

In a bid to encourage backpackers to head Down Under, Australia’s Government will be waiving the Working Holiday Visa fee. This would save you up to $495AUD! This applies to both the 417 Working Holiday Visa and the 462 Work and Holiday Visa. The catch is that visa application fees will be reimbursed, but you have to enter Australia within 12 weeks (by April 19th, 2022).

is running Oz Intro Work & Travel packages from April 4th 2022! INTRO's Oz trips will set you up to work and show you the best of this extraordinary country with a new bunch of friends. So what are you waiting for?

Head to www.introtravel.com to learn more and get your working holiday (and free visa) sorted 😍✈️

How cute are these little guys? 🐧

Phillip Island in Victoria is home to the largest Little Penguin colony in the world. You can experience the magic of watching these amazing seabirds waddle home from the ocean to their burrows any night of the year. Not the kind of scary animals you'd expect to see on your Australia trip, right? 😉
