PREMIER AUSSIE SPECIALIST
Australia Expertise, Backed by On-the-Ground Connections
As a Premier Aussie Specialist, I belong to a select group of advisors recognised by Tourism Australia for our deep knowledge, firsthand experience, and ongoing commitment to understanding the country in a truly meaningful way.
For me, this isn’t just a certification — it’s a reflection of my roots, my passion, and the relationships I’ve built across Australia over a lifetime.
WHAT BEING A PREMIER AUSSIE SPECIALIST REALLY MEANS
This designation is earned through:
- Extensive destination training
- Continued learning
- Regular travel throughout Australia
- Strong relationships with tourism operators, guides, and experiences across the country
It ensures that when I design an Australian itinerary, it’s not based on guesswork — it’s grounded in real experience, local insight, and trusted partnerships.
BEHIND THE SCENES: THE AUSTRALIAN TOURISM EXCHANGE (ATE)
One of the most valuable parts of being a Premier Aussie Specialist is attending ATE, Australia’s biggest and most important tourism event. Over four intensive days:
- I meet one-on-one with boutique lodges, eco-tourism operators, Indigenous guides, luxury hotels, small-ship expedition lines, and regional tourism boards
- I learn what’s new, what’s opening, what’s trending, and what’s truly exceptional
- I ask the detailed questions that help me match the right experiences to the right traveller
This is where I discover the hidden gems you won’t find with a simple Google search.
It’s busy, inspiring, energising, and absolutely vital to staying at the top of my field.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOUR TRIP
Every conversation, every connection, every destination update feeds directly into how I design your journey. It means you benefit from:
- Insider recommendations
- Firsthand understanding of regions and operators
- Clarity around logistics, access, and seasonality
- Unique experiences not widely available
- The confidence of knowing your itinerary is crafted by someone who truly knows Australia
Whether it’s the right wine region to pair with a coastal escape, the most meaningful Indigenous-led cultural experience, or the best wildlife encounter at sunrise — this knowledge shapes your trip.
MY PROMISE AS A PREMIER AUSSIE SPECIALIST
When you travel with me, you’re not just visiting Australia.
You’re experiencing it through the lens of someone who:
- Grew up there
- Returns regularly
- Continues to learn from local experts
- Is deeply passionate about sharing the country’s magic with curious, thoughtful travellers
Your journey will be immersive, inspired, and designed with care — the way Australia deserves to be experienced.
