Let’s Craft the South Pacific Trip of a Lifetime

G’day – I’m Dianne, the Aussie behind Go Walkabout Travel and a long-time Australia and New Zealand travel expert. I’ve spent over 35 years designing personalized trips for North Americans heading Down Under.

Born in Sydney and raised in Perth, Western Australia, I’ve always been passionate about sharing the best of my home country with curious travelers. That passion kicked off in 1988 when I became a travel agent, creating tailor-made itineraries for travelers heading to Australia and New Zealand. Since then, I’ve worked across nearly every part of the travel industry — constantly evolving and refining how we deliver unforgettable journeys.

In 2000, I moved to Canada — and since then, I’ve lived in Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, and even Yellowknife, gaining a deep understanding of what North American travelers value most.

Go Walkabout Travel launched in 2004 after the closure of ANZA Travel. Since then, we’ve been crafting highly personalized travel experiences for Canadians and Americans bound for Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.

Our clients span the continent — from Vancouver to Virginia — and each itinerary is customized with care, precision, and insider access. As your Australia and New Zealand travel expert, I personally oversee every trip design. I work closely with a trusted network of on-the-ground suppliers and local experts to ensure everything flows seamlessly.

Whether it’s a private self-drive escape, a small group tour, or a hybrid of both, we’re here to build a trip that fits you perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by — we’d love to hear your story and help you take the trip of a lifetime.
