Our hearts go out to those affected by the bushfires here in Australia, especially those families who have lost loved ones and homes. We thank the amazing volunteers of all types especially the heroic firefighters. And of course we are incredibly saddened at the enormous loss of wildlife and livestock. We would like to thank those nations providing funds and personnel to assist us in our hour of need.

Great Southern Touring Route needs to ask international travellers to still come to Australia and not cancel their travel plans. There are many areas including the Great Southern Touring Route which are unaffected. A key way to support Australia at this time is to come and visit us, we will show visitors our best Aussie hospitality and look forward to their stay.

We encourage all travellers coming to Victoria to seek the most up-to-date information prior to departure from their accommodation and tourism providers. Please also see Visit Victoria’s latest update for a summary on regions impacted and not impacted by the bushfires by clicking here.
