Independent Research for Trips Around Australia.

What We Publish

We write destination guides for Australians travelling around their own country. Each guide focuses on the decisions that shape a trip: which part of a city to stay in, how to get around without a car, when crowds and prices peak, and what is genuinely worth your time. Alongside the city guides, we publish trip ideas—family holidays, beach breaks and weekend getaways—and practical resources such as our hotel booking checklist and seasonal planning tips.

We do not publish hotel reviews, star ratings or rankings of individual properties. Our focus is on places and planning, so you can compare stays with confidence on a booking platform.

How We Research Destinations

Our guides are built from official sources—state tourism bodies, transport operators, park authorities, airports and venues—combined with the practical questions travellers ask before they book. We look at transport links, the character of each neighbourhood, seasonal weather and the events that change demand.

Because timetables, fares, park access and event dates change, we describe them in general terms and point you to the official source rather than repeating details that may go out of date. When we update a guide, we review its practical advice as a whole rather than adding promotional content.

How Hotel Search Links Work

Many pages include links that open a hotel search on Booking.com for a city, suburb or area. When you follow one, you leave our site: Booking.com shows current availability and prices, and any reservation is made directly with Booking.com and the property. We never take bookings, handle payments or see your booking details.

Affiliate Relationships

Some links are affiliate links. If you make a qualifying booking after following one, we may earn a commission from the booking provider, at no additional cost to you. Commissions help keep our guides free to read. They do not decide which destinations we cover or what we say about them. Affiliate links are marked with sponsored link attributes, and pages that contain them include a short disclosure. Read our full affiliate disclosure.

Editorial Independence

The Trip Route is not owned by, operated by or officially endorsed by Booking.com or any hotel group. We don't accept payment for favourable coverage, and we avoid made-up prices, fake urgency, invented statistics and testimonials. Our full editorial policy is on our legal page.

A Newly Launched Publication

The Trip Route is a new site and we are adding destinations over time. Our first guides cover Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, and Australia's national parks, with a directory of further places to explore.

Prices and Availability

We do not display live rates. Prices, taxes, fees, cancellation terms and availability are set by the booking provider and the property, and they change often. Always check the full details on Booking.com before you reserve.
