Our Story
Aussie Bucket List is 100% Australian. Made in Australia, by Australians, for Australians.
Aussie Bucket List® is a website and smart-phone application developed in Australia, by Australians, for Australians. We are a 100% Australian owned family business based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Aussie Bucket List® has conducted the research for you, promoting only the top and most reputable experiences, destinations, venues and events all across Australia.
The Aussie Bucket List® concept has evolved since early 2015. We started out by promoting all of the wonderful free bucket list experiences across Australia on our social media pages. This resulted in an organic following of thousands of people in Australia and across the world engaging with us about Australia's unique experiences. We have spent the last 20+ years exploring, chatting with locals and researching each region of Australia, which has evolved into developing a platform for all people travelling Australia to enjoy and benefit from.
What Drives Us
Aussie Bucket List® inspires Australian's to live their best life, encouraging people to get outside and explore their own backyards. You only live once, and if you live by your bucket list, once should be enough. When you are outside exploring, you get physical exercise, fresh air and sun exposure which has proven to be beneficial for your physical health and has a positive impact on your mental health and overall well-being. While exploring the natural beauty of Australia, you also naturally begin to develop an appreciation for nature and the environment in which we live in. Research has proven that taking your kids with you on outdoor adventures stimulates their cognitive development. The vitamin D they receive from the sun helps to boost their mood, whilst they experience an adventure they will remember for a lifetime.
