Take a deep breath: How following your nose is the new way to travel

Paying careful attention to scents when travelling invites us to discover the essence of Australia through the power of fragrance and the magic of memory.

Australia's wild and unforgettable landscapes are a melting pot of sensory experiences, woven with powerful scent stories that connect deeply with our memories and emotions.

From the rugged outback to the pristine coastlines, Australia’s natural beauty is not only visually stunning but steeped with fragrant storytelling, all you need to do is sniff in.

Imagine the crisp, clean scent of rain-kissed eucalyptus leaves after a refreshing downpour in the Blue Mountains, or the earthy aroma of damp soil as you look up to the towering rainforest canopies of the Otways in Victoria.

Or the tranquil allure of Australia’s rippling beaches, where the salty tang of sea spray mingles with the coconutty sweetness of sunscreen and beach cricket. This uniquely Australian blend evokes lazy days under the sun, the sound of crashing waves, and the warmth of sandy toes - a scented tale of relaxation and escape.

Connecting mindfully to your sense of smell while travelling is a powerful way to create deep and layered memories, where the sweet scents of native flowers become a sensory reminder of peaceful hikes and breathtaking views once savored.

These scent memories are more than just fragrances; they are portals to experiences that embody the essence of Australia. They transport us to moments of wonder, connection, and appreciation for the natural world and its diverse beauty, finding our scents of place.
