About Backpacker Australia
Backpacker Australia was created by travellers who have done it all — the 88 days farm work, the reef tours, the hostel life, the visa renewals. We know what information you actually need and we give it to you straight.
We are based in Cairns, North Queensland. We know the local scene, the best operators, and the honest truth about backpacking in Australia.
