##Green is our Gold Commitment:
As members of Australia’s tourism industry, we believe a land as precious
as ours should be preserved for generations to come. As a visitor, we ask that you do the same. That’s why we’ve set some unwritten rules that have kept our backyard beautiful for thousands of years.
Passed down through story and practice, they’re how we walk gently, listen deeply, tread with care – and look out for each other along the way.
By following them throughout your visit, you too can care for Australia when you Come and say G’day.
Consider these principles a bit of local knowledge. A few fundamentals to help you respect this place and have an unforgettable stay in the process.
The Guiding Principles:
Celebrate Community
The best part of an Australian visit is the people you meet.
Shop local, engage with communities, and you’ll leave with new mates aplenty.
Embrace Culture
Australia’s cultural diversity stretches from ancient songlines to city laneways. Immerse yourself in it all - honour First Nations cultures, embrace our diversity, and you’ll leave with new knowledge and new friends.
Preserve Place
In Australia you’ll find some of the most unspoilt landscapes on Earth. Help keep them that way by minimising your impact wherever you go.
Respect Wildlife
Australia has some of the most unique animals on the planet. Take as many photos as you like but remember to give them space and respect their homes.
Take Care
We look out for one another in Australia, but it’s important to take care of yourself too. Listen to the land, respect it, and always put safety first.
If you have any questions between now and your trip with us, please don't hesitate to email or call me directly.
Looking forward to adventuring with you soon,
