Australia's largest domestic travel publication Australian Traveller is celebrating its 100th edition by giving away more than $175,000 worth of Aussie travel – many timed to make the most of this summer!

"We really wanted to go back to our roots for this special moment by helping Australians fall in love with their own country," says co-founder Quentin Long.

"And what better way than to give Aussies a chance to win an iconic and memorable Aussie holiday," Long says. 

The list of holidays to be won are a mix of Australia's most iconic and underrated gems.

From a stay at the bucket-list Great Barrier Reef resort Lizard Island to a luxury family escape on the Gold Coast or a getaway to the idyllic and little-known islands of Cocos (Keeling), there are so many ways to fall in love with Australia andAustralian Traveller has a prize to suit them all.

The mega holiday giveaway is one part of the celebration, which also included a cocktail party with industry partners and Australian Traveller contributors and alumni at Sydney's Bangarra Dance Theatre. In the magazine and on the website,Australian Traveller editors celebrate the 100th edition with a look both back and forward.

Magazine editor Imogen Eveson does a deep dive into what has changed in Australian tourism experiences since the publication launched in 2005 and what they will look like in 2040.
