THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’
FOR MORE than four decades, Traveltalk has been a respected and highly valued voice of the Australian travel industry.
We’ve been there through the good times (and the bad times), bringing you the very latest travel news and industry-leading interviews, stories and features.
But one of the reasons we’ve become Australia’s favourite travel news magazine is that we never rest on our laurels. You only have to look at our ground-breaking moving covers to see that…
We also know that how you get your news has changed. Mobile phones and the internet have changed the playing field forever. That’s why from today we’re changing too.
Here is the brand new Traveltalk – a fully digitalised magazine that will inspire, inform and interest like never before. Same must-read content, new and exciting format. Bigger stories, bigger pictures, bigger impact.
So, if you still want to know what’s really happening in travel, then Traveltalk is your bucket list destination.
Plus have a go at our new daily travel-themed word puzzle: Wordtalk!

INSIDE THIS MONTH
A tale of three cities
Authentic encounters with local people and cultures are the new black in travel. JON UNDERWOOD reports on three very different experiences to be found in Thailand, Malaysia and South Africa.
Reaching for the skies
The highest peak in Africa is not for the faint hearted. STEPH OVENDEN reports on her attempt to conquer ‘Kili’.
Welcome to a modern marvel
Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest super-ship will tick the boxes of even the most hesitant cruisers, writes JENNY ROWLAND.
Nicer in Newfoundland
You’re a visitor to Newfoundland only once, GAYA AVERY discovers on her first night there. On your return, you’ve no longer ‘come from away’, instead, you’re simply coming home.
Animal Magic Comes Out of Africa
Jon Underwood visits a game reserve where incredible experiences await around every corner and learn why a safari holiday might not be as expensive as you think.
Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
The Londoner hotel – slap bang in the middle of everything that’s happening in the city – is quintessentially upmarket British.
