2016 Year of Outback Travel

Australian Traveller

The outback bucket list experiences revealed

Australia's best-selling travel magazine is predicting a massive year for outback travel in 2016. 

“Higher exchange rates, business uncertainty and security fears means travellers who have being putting an outback adventure off until later in life will reassess whether now is the time to go,” says 
Australian Traveller editor Lara Picone. 

“A trip to the outback is the single-most important journey for Australians. Once you have experienced the outback you understand the vastness, the true uniqueness and beauty of this country.” continues Picone.
