Editorial MARCH 2024

Welcome to the new Traveltalk magazine

Traveltalk has been informing, educating and entertaining the travel connoisseurs of Australia for almost half a century.  And just like a fine wine, it only gets better with age.

That’s why we’re excited and delighted to launch a new and improved Traveltalk magazine for 2024.  Brilliant stories, bigger pictures, bolder design.

We’re leaving the daily news to our must-read newsletters and ever-changing website. Don’t miss those!

But in the new-look Traveltalk, we’re going beyond the news to bring you the people, the stories and the issues that matter, keeping you ahead of the curve.

We’ll also have more in-depth reviews of airlines, cruise ships, hotels, restaurants, spas and destinations to give you first-hand information you can trust.

As a special bonus in our re-launch issue, we have not one but TWO competitions, offering you the chance to win trips both here and abroad.

Travel is all about people and places. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with either.  With the sparkling new Traveltalk, we’ve got you covered.
