Australia’s traditional landowners, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, have a connection with the Australian land that is humbling to witness, whether you’re a local or traveller from overseas.

We’re celebrating the highs and lows (physical and emotional!) of active adventures, through your stories.

“The coronavirus has us stuck in our own countries. Maybe a decision has to be made… do I move to Canada or does he move here?! What do you think?”

We’re sharing letters dedicated to the friendships created and deepened through travel. To help us all feel a bit closer while we’re physically apart.

From a father-daughter trip to Thailand, to a mother and her kids exploring Morocco, your stories of togetherness are helping us feel closer at a time when we have to be apart.
