Why Australian Seniors Are Exploring Their Own Backyard—And Loving It

Why I’m Seeing More Seniors Ditch the Passport and Holiday at Home

After chatting with dozens of Boathouse guests, it’s clear—more and more over-60s are swapping long-haul flights for local luxury. And honestly? They’re loving it.

Hi, I’m Lea. I’ve worked in the travel and hospitality space for a few years now, and if there’s one thing I have noticed, that I love —it’s this: seniors aren’t settling by staying in Australia, they’re smartening up.

And I say that with complete admiration.
