Welcome to Wiki Australia
Most travel and accommodation websites provide you with only the information that the marketing departments of the relevant resorts, hotels and tour operators want you to see.
We believe that the most interesting aspects of a holiday are often the experiences you didn't read about before you arrived. That's why at Wiki Australia - our visitors share their inside knowledge of destinations they have visited.
Through a collaborative environment, we intend to build up a reference of Australian destinations, accommodation and tours that reflects the experiences behind the experiences!
