National Geographic Traveller (UK) Magazine - November 2024

In this issue

With summertime in Australia fast approaching, our cover story takes a look at the myriad adventures on offer Down Under – from trekking the Great Ocean Walk in Victoria and foraging on Sydney’s seashore to tracking ancient flora by kayak in Tasmania and camping on the beach in Western Australia. Elsewhere in the issue, we island-hop through Estonia’s little-visited western isles; take a hut-to-hut hike through the mountains of Slovenia; enjoy the Mediterranean off-season in France’s Nice; and go on a road trip through the storied region of New England, discovering coastal and cultural treasures along the way.
