🇦🇺 The Australia Family Travel Guide
Everything we wish we’d known before travelling Australia as a family.
Australia is an incredible family destination — but planning a trip can feel overwhelming.
How much does it actually cost?
Where should you stay?
How do you get around?
Which beaches are best for families?
What should you know about the Australian sun, wildlife and roads?
And how do you experience the very best of Australia without spending a fortune?
We’ve spent months travelling Australia as a family, figuring much of this out the hard way.
Now we’re putting everything we’ve learned into one practical, honest guide.
Inside the guide, we’ll cover:
🇦🇺 Planning your trip — what to sort before you leave, what to book and what you can leave until you arrive.
💰 Money & real-world costs — accommodation, food, supermarkets, fuel, attractions, budgeting and the things that can quietly eat into your travel fund.
☀️ Keeping your family safe — Australian sun, beaches, swimming, wildlife, roads, heat and what to do when something goes wrong.
🏖️ Australia’s beaches — choosing the right beach, facilities, rock pools, coastal adventures and making the most of Australia’s incredible coastline.
🦘 Wildlife & nature — kangaroos, koalas, whales, dolphins, birds, marine life and responsible wildlife encounters.
🚗 Getting around Australia — driving, distances, car hire, public transport, road trips and the realities of travelling a country this bloody big.
👨👩👧 Doing Australia as a family — keeping kids entertained, family-friendly experiences, slower travel and making Australia work for your particular family.
🆓 Free & cheap Australia — because some of our favourite experiences cost absolutely nothing.
🗺️ The East Coast — practical destination advice from Sydney all the way to Tropical North Queensland.
❤️ Our lived experience — what we loved, what surprised us, what we’d do differently and where we think your money is genuinely worth spending.
This isn’t a guide written from a desk.
It’s based on our actual experiences travelling Australia as a family — the places we’ve stayed, the beaches we’ve explored, the wildlife we’ve encountered, the money we’ve spent and the mistakes we’ve made along the way.
We’ve deliberately kept it practical rather than filling pages with information you could find in five minutes on Google.
It’s the guide we wish we’d had before our first Australian adventure.
Pre-order for £14.99
The introductory pre-sale price will be available ahead of launch, with the price increasing to £19.99 once the finished guide is released.
