1. Great round up as usual Anne. So many fantastic and inspirational blogs. I love how you have also included some specialist listings for specific niches. Thrilled to still be in the top 50 despite back links not being my strong suit…..

   • Thanks Jo, I know how you feel – 2016 was a slower year for me as well blog wise due to uni, but I am finished now so looking forward to ramping up my blogging again in 2017.

2. Such an impressive (and long) list! Thanks for including me.

   • Thanks Shandos, and congratulations on making the list!

3. Thanks Anne for compiling this awesome list – it’s going to be my go to travel blog list for 2017! (Thanks too for including Travel Boating Lifestyle)

   • Thanks Fiona – congratulations on your blog being included! I hope you find many great new blogs to follow and enjoy!

4. Impressive round up Anne which must take you ages to compile. Thank You! Loved that there are so many I know, and so many I don’t know – can’t wait to read and befriend many 🙂 Hugely Amped to make the list with both my blogs this year, and to be #1 Travel Blog for people visiting Perth.

   • Jo, thank you, it was a big job and I am very pleased to now be finished. Congratulations on both of your blogs being included this year and you definitely deliver great information about Perth for both locals and visitors!

5. Thanks for including us! Looking forward to checking out some new blogs from the list!

   • Thanks Holly, congratulations on being included and have fun checking out who else is out there – we are definitely a diverse and energetic bunch!

6. Hi Anne – great post! Thought I’d let you know about my blog as I think it qualifies: http://www.noimpactgirl.com It’s about sustainable travel and living, a labour of love mostly, and a way to express ideas I can’t get into my travel stories. Maybe it’ll be on your list next year. Happy travels.

   • Louise, thank you for letting me know about your blog. I will add it to my list to be considered next time.

7. Hi Anne, great list- lovely to see some new names on there. What a huge undertaking with so many great travel bloggers! We’d love you to look at our blog next year for possible inclusion – Allabroad.com.au. Cheers Di and Ade

   • Di and Ade, thank you for letting me know about your blog – I will add it to my list for next time.

8. Thanks Anne once again for the amount of work you put into co-ordinating this list. It is much appreciated.

   • Thanks Jan, I appreciate your feedback.

9. Wow what a great list with many blogs I know and some I will now follow. I would love to be considered for the next year. Travelwiththegreens.Com

   • Debbie, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

10. Hi Anne,

    Thank you for including us 😀 We also offer drone / aerial photography services and would love to be added to that section 🙂 We previously done some drone work for hotels as an add on service.

    • Thanks Lexi, I will update the article to include your services in that area.

    • Kate, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

12. So great to see so many familiar faces here! My little blog has had lots of hiccups to get going but hopefully by next time, it will be a useful resource for family travellers around the world too. It’s www .roamthegnome.com. Our gnome is having a ball too!

    • Amber, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

13. Hello I’m fairly confident my travel blog Travel Bug Within.com.au is one that falls into your guidelines.

    I thought i may have emailed you my web details but maybe not . I was travelling overseas.

    I have plans to activate my blog and social media more actively on 2017.

    Love to maybe considered for next year.
    I will read the reviewed ones with interest.
    Thanks.

    Jennifer

    • Jennifer, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

14. That’s a huge list Anne, well done putting it together. My blog missed the list even though it was on the initial draft… was I meant to confirm? Perhaps I missed something somewhere.
    It’s great to see Aus and NZ are so well represented in the world of blogging!

15. Thank you so much for including me, and – truly – for all the hard work this list would have taken!!!

    • Thanks Cristin!

16. Wow! Anne, that was some undertaking this year – but sooooo appreciated –
    It is brilliant having the Ozzie and NZ bloggers ranked and pulled together like this all in the one place!
    Thank you 😀

    • Thanks Linda, I appreciate your feedback!

17. Thanks for compiling this massive list Anne and for including us. We’ll have to work harder at it to improve our ranking for next year.

    • Lyn, it is my pleasure!

18. Awesome list! I would love to be included next time around. Current DA is 39. Fash Packing by SFH http://www.sydneyfashionhunter.com

    • Allison, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

19. http://www.greetingtheworld.com meets all your criteria! It’s about an Australian couple who are driving around the world in their 4wd van! They post videos, travel tips and destination reviews!! Lots of great posts about Aus!
    Please consider them for your next review :). Cheers!!

    • Michaela, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

20. Thanks ever so much for including us in your list – and to be WAY UP there in 2 categories 🙂
    I’m a little shocked and very honoured.
    There is a lot of work blogging, and often as a blogger, it feels like you are lost in the many.
    So this is extremely encouraging and rewarding for years of time, effort and hard work.
    Congratulations to all who made the list.
    Thanks again 🙂 Exploramum and Explorason

    • Thanks Ruth, travel blogging is a lot of work and within a very competitive international environment, so I am pleased that this list helps to highlight our great and new Australian and NZ travel blogger – I certainly get many many clickthroughs to all of your blogs and have been told that many people get a lot of business approaches as a result of being on this list which is fabulous!

21. WoW!! Blown away to find myself a on this list and first time I’ve seen it too!!! Fantastic 😀 And so cool to see so many other bloggers & people that I know on there as well!! What a great resource & what a great effort putting it together. I’ll definitely SHARE the badge. Well done!!!

    • Kate, thank you for your feedback.

22. A fabulous job again Anne. The list is getting longer and longer for you to check but it’s great to see so many Australian and New Zealand blogs.

    • Thanks Jenny, I appreciate your feedback. It is a bigger job each time that i do it, but I really love how it helps to bring the Australian and NZ travel blogging communities together.

23. Hello Ann,

    My blog is 4 months old now and has a DA of 12 as of today. Pitched at over 40’s and going well ( i think)

    • Sandra, thank you for letting me know about your blog!

24. I always look forward to this list coming out – not just because I’m on it, but because it’s a chance to get to discover some awesome new blogs and bloggers! Thanx again for all the work you’ve put into this, Anne!

    • Thanks Red, I appreciate your feedback!

25. Hi
    We’re are a retired couple from Oz travelling the world without catching a plane. Well at least trying, unless Mother Nature stops us. We are coming up to 12 months on the road and would love it if you could check us out out. Thanks Di
    The Meandering Wanderers

    • Thanks Di, I appreciate you letting me know about your blog.

26. We are husband and wife Australian motobike travellers ,we have visited over 65 countries in the past three years. Including Asia, Europe, Scandinavia,Russia etc. Now in the Americas. Would love if you could check us out and include us in this list. Thanks

    • Lyn, thank you for letting me know about your blog – it sounds like you are on an adventure of a lifetime!

27. Thanks for all your work on this Anne! I have already found a ton of great posts on Perth and WA which is our next adventure (in March) The NZ catagory will be really useful later in the year when I start planning on month in New Zealand in November. Glad to have made your list for Sydney 🙂

    • Thanks Paula, you are welcome. I am please to hear that my short lists should help you plan your next trips – all the best with it!

28. Wow, what a long list! Thanks for the inclusion of our blog… 😉

    One question: you have top blogs for the major centres like Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. Why not for Brisbane or at least S.E.Queensland (Sunshine Coast down to Gold Coast)? That’s one of the major destinations in Australia and extensively covered by a number of outstanding bloggers.

    • Juergen, thanks for your comment. I was wondering if anyone would ask me that question – you are correct that there are many great bloggers in the QLD area, but the sad news is that only about 20 people per month search for ‘gold coast travel blogs’ and even less for Brisbane and Queensland. As a result I did not set up a specific category for these destinations.

29. This is a great list – anyone coming to Australia/NZ can easily find everything they need by starting here! I can’t even imagine the work you had to put into collating all this!

    Would love to be considered for next year: http://www.jetsetbrunettexo.com – focus is on Sydney, Australia

    • Courtney, thanks for letting me know about your blog.

30. Great article! Would love for you to consider my blog for next time!

    • Thank you for letting me know about your blog.

31. Hi Anne. Appreciate the effort you put in for the list. Would love to be considered next time as an Australian based here and blogging about regional travel/food.

    Thanks

    • Markus, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

32. Anne,
    I love your yearly travel blog list.
    #41 for Toddlers on Tour this year a couple down from last year – but considering how many more travel blogs there are now on the list, not too bad 🙂
    Next year I hope you can add my new travel tips blog “Tips 4 Trips” (https://traveltips4trip.com) that will be officially launching next week.

    • Sally – you definitely did well – it was quite competitive with the additional blogs that were included in the list compared to the previous version. Thanks as well for letting me know about your new blog – I will add it to my list for assessment.

33. Thanks a heap for putting me on the list.

    • Thanks Anthony, no problem!

34. Hi Anne. Nice list. It’s a credit to your dedication. We look forward to going through and checking them out. We also have a travel blog which is a few years old and would be grateful if you could consider it for future listing. http://frequenttraveller.com.au/ Kind Regards Alan & Ros

    • Alan, thank you for letting me know about your blog.

35. Thanks Anne for all your hard work in producing this list. So proud to have made your list this year!

37. Hey Anne,
    Thanks for doing the list this year again and including EcoTraveller. It really is a great resource, and one I use often.

    Hope 2017 is good to you 🙂

    • Thanks Linda, I appreciate your feedback.

38. Thank you for the round up and inclusion (it’s particularly nice to see where you rank and have something to aim for). I’ve been looking for more Aussie blogs to read and this list will be of great assistance!

39. Thank you so much for including me on this MASSIVE list. You must put so much time into compiling this, especially with the extra city/family/adventure lists. Such a fantastic resource for discovering new blogs.

40. Great list!! I’m so glad I’ve found this web page and be able to read more from my fellow Aussies! I’m also an Aussie Blogger (just requested to join Aussie Bloggers Facebook group) which is again – something I didn’t know about before.

    I hope eventually my domain authority is high enough to make it into the ranks here!

41. Hello! Thanks so much for this- I am always looking for new blogs to check out. I’d also love for you to consider my Aus travel blog for future inclusion- The Accidental Australian, a look at life as an expat living in Sydney and a guide for expats and adventures- https://www.theaccidentalaustralian.com

    Cheers!

    Katie

42. Thank you so much for the inclusion! I was so surprised when I found your list last year – and then to discover I was included on it! I’ve really been working to boost my travel content in the past year, so I appreciate to extra motivation and support.

    Thank you for this comprehensive list!
    I always look for great blogs to follow and to get inspired 🙂
    It looks like you’ve done a massive research, well done! Lot’s of great blogs in the list!

    I run an Australian-based travel and lifestyle blog, where I post about traveling around Australia and the world.
    I would be so grateful if you have a quick look and perhaps let me know what do you think.

    I put a lot of effort in the blog and always happy to get any feedback.
    Thank you!

48. Great review post. Will definitely subscribe to receive future posts.

    Would it be possible to be included in your next review cycle? Our web site address is http://www.MinimalistJourneys.com. I was born in New Zealand, married an Australian / German, and have just finished living in Sydney for the past 9 years. We quit our jobs, sold our house and all our belongings and now travel the world full time. Our site is active and is improving in quality day by day.

    I hope we fit the criteria for your next review.
