With a goal of sharing the best of Australia that you can experience in just a couple of days, Weekending.au features itineraries, lists, stories and inspiring content. From the most idyllic islands in Queensland to top-notch Top End itineraries and whale watching spots in Sydney to stargazing in the Warrumbungles, you’ll find information on destinations both on and off the beaten track.
Editor Alex Keshen has spent the past 15 years travelling at every possible opportunity, and writing about it too. Exploring just about ever corner of Australia (but still plenty more on her list to explore), she loves sharing tips and tricks to help you become a more savvy traveller. She’s spent years in the digital content strategy space with a big focus on travel for brands including Travelzoo and Finder… Plus planning many of her own adventures.
We strive to experience as much of what we write about as possible and will always be transparent about whether we’re writing based on personal experiences or extensive research.
