Australia

Sydney harbour is where most of the articles in this category begin, but a country this size pulls coverage in many directions. The Great Barrier Reef gets sustained attention with the practical reality of bleaching events alongside the marketing photos. Uluru and the red centre receive coverage that respects the cultural rules around it. Tasmania, the Kimberley, and the Margaret River wine country each get their own thread.

Wildlife pieces cover the kangaroos, koalas, and quokkas that visitors expect, and also the snakes, spiders, and box jellyfish that responsible travel writing should not skip. Practical material handles long internal flights, road train etiquette in the outback, the cost of a coffee culture that takes itself seriously, and the visa rules for working holidays.
