London (3 October 2024) From Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney Harbour, Australia is packed with instantly recognisable destinations — urban and natural wonders familiar even to those yet to see them in the flesh. But just beyond these world-famous sights lie spectacular habitats and attractions little known to international travellers. With summertime Down Under fast approaching, the November issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) invites readers to head outdoors and experience them first-hand, whether that be on a guided tour of Broome’s mangrove forests, a multi-day trek along Victoria’s Great Ocean Walk or during an excursion in search of Tasmania’s endangered King Billy pines.

The November issue also welcomes the return of the Hotel Awards, which delves into the year’s most exciting new openings and refurbishments. Meanwhile, the free South Korea guide included with this issue highlights the nation’s diverse cultural offerings, with experiences ranging from crate digging in Seoul’s vinyl bars to sampling bibimbap in the city of Jeonju.
