Why backpacking Australia should be your next adventure
So many amazing places a short flight or road trip away, all unique and vastly different from one another
Whether you’re craving sunny, pristine beaches, culturally rich cities, or areas loaded with natural wonders and wild animals, Australia has it all!

Wherever you decide to begin your adventure, the ease at which you can get around the whole country, with quick flights or easy road trips, is another reason you should head to Australia with nothing but a backpack and some free time, ASAP!

Been wanting to backpack for a while? Been wondering what the big deal is? The huge number of backpackers in Australia at all times throughout the year, especially people on the Working Holiday Visa, shows there’s clearly a fascination with Australia, for good reason!
Amazing weather, year-round
Contrary to popular belief from those who have never visited Aus, Australia does indeed have a winter and, depending on where in Aus you are, can get quite chilly. However, one perk of travelling throughout the country, especially if you’re a backpacker with a loose schedule, is that you can leave the cold and head to warmer places! If winter is dawning in Sydney, travel north towards Brisbane or Cairns to soak up some sun, even in the colder months.
Better yet, take advantage of being on this side of the world and take a quick and cheap trip to Fiji or anywhere in Southeast Asia, like Bali, Thailand, or Cambodia, which stay warm and tropical year-round! Group tours are a great and inexpensive way to make friends with other solo travellers while exploring these warm, tropical places throughout Asia! – Travel Feeder
