Here's our guide to exploring Australia unlike ever before, where you take the paths less travelled, to areas unknown and embrace a new and gentler way of travelling.

Indigenous experiences

Australia offers an abundant array of cultural experiences to suit every traveller. And one of the most engaging experiences is Indigenous Australia, learning from the world's 'oldest living cultures' that dates back 50,000 years. 

Former chair of Indigenous Tourism Australia and Gumbaynggirr man, Dr. Aden Ridgeway states

'Aboriginal culture starts with its people. Aboriginal guides open a door into a world that many people don't know still exists. A world where past, present and future meet. There's nothing more exciting for a traveller than a totally new experience' (source)

You can find many indigenous experiences all around Australia from city tours, urban festivals, to remote Central Australia and the Kimberley.

Culture, food and wine

For foodie explorers, there are many food and wine experiences often within the driving range of most major cities. Think locally picked fresh produce coupled with wine straight from the cellar door in the Barossa Valley near Adelaide, Margaret River near Perth, Hunter Valley near Sydney and many vineyards around Hobart and Launceston.
