Here are the 10 international destinations Australians are obsessed with in 2025
The puffer jackets have come out to play, which means winter in Australia is well and truly here. Even though we've still got a week before the frosty season officially kicks off, many Aussies are already dreaming of warmer climates where ten degrees feels like a long-lost friend. So, where are Aussies fleeing to this winter? Expedia has just released its 2025 Winter Travel Outlook, revealing the top ten trending international hotspots – and we're already searching for the cheapest flights before you beat us to it. Malta has long lived in the shadows of Italy and Greece, but this dreamy European island nation has seen the biggest spike in popularity among Aussie travellers since last winter – with searches on Expedia increasing by 80 per cent. Plonked in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, this ancient archipelago is one of the sunniest places in Europe, boasting around 300 days of rays each year. From sunbathing to sea diving, there is a plethora of top-tier beaches where you can soak it all up, along with history-packed temples for when you need to cool down. Next up on the list was Milos in Greece, which has seen a 70 per cent spike in searches from Aussie travellers for winter. This Aegean jewel is an island-hopper's paradise, sitting pretty among Greece's 6,000-odd islands.

BREAKING NEWS Millions of Australians to receive major pay rise as Fair Work Commission increases minimum wage: Find out how much more you'll get
Australia's 2.8million lowest paid workers have been awarded a 3.5 per cent wage increase to keep pace with moderating inflation. The Fair Work Commission's increase marked the weakest rise since 2021, when a 2.5 per cent increase was awarded. The annual wage review increase, coming into effect on July 1, was above the headline inflation rate of 2.4 per cent and in between what was sought by employers and unions. The decision will affect 2.6million Australians, or one in five workers, who are employed under one of 121 awards, along with the 180,000 people on the minimum wage. Fair Work Commission president Adam Hatcher delivered the industrial umpire's decision at 10am, AEST, on Tuesday, noting the low-paid are 'disproportionately female'. The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry had argued for a 2.5 per cent increase that barely kept pace with inflation while the Australian Council of Trade Unions had argued for a 4.5 per cent rise. The latest increase is much smaller compared with recent years, given inflation has moderated since reaching a 32-year high of 7.8 per cent in late 2022.

Six of Sydney's favourite personalities have shared their secret spots for a perfect day
When a friend visits Sydney from out of town, chances are you don't rush to tell them about how good it is to get a picture in front of the ferries at Circular Quay, or splash in the waves at Bondi Beach. Sydney's icons are famous enough – and it's our hidden gems, the places that Sydneysiders carve out time for outside of our own 9-5, that are really worth recommending. With that in mind, we got top picks from some of Sydney's favourite people. First up: the man behind Sydney's fastest mullet. Electrician turned ultramarathon runner Nedd Brockmann, who's lived in Randwick for the past four years, has shared his top spots to run, recover and refuel in the Harbour City. FYI, over at you can now book a place on a Brockmann-approved running tour around the CBD, then schedule a recovery session at Surry Hills bathhouse Capybara before booking in for dinner at one of the athlete's favourite restaurants in the city, Luke Mangan's Luc San in Potts Point. Olympian Jess Fox 's top Sydney itinerary is also active. Jess's perfect day starts with kayaking at dawn on Sydney Harbour, flying across the Jamieson Valley with Scenic World 's Beyond Skyway experience, then heading to Theo's Rooftop in her local area, Penrith, for sunset drinks. Conveniently, her itinerary is also, available to book via the site. Turns out Aria-winning artist Budjerah is an adventurous guy, because he recommends a sunrise balloon ride over Camden, followed by a surfing session at URBNSURF, rounded out with the incredible BridgeClimb Burrawa Aboriginal Climb experience. Content kings The Inspired Unemployed are high-energy guys – they recommend having a "mystery picnic" in the Royal Botanic Gardens, jet boating on Sydney Harbour with Oz Jet Boating and doing paddle board yoga with Manly-based yoga studio Flow mOcean. Podcaster, writer and comedy queen Lucinda Price (Froomes) is all about balance – with recommendations spanning from a snorkelling session at Shelly Beach to winding up at the Ace Hotel for dinner and drinks (with a backstage tour of Sydney Opera House thrown in the mix for a bit of culture). Finally, one of our city's most beloved chefs: the mighty Dan Hong (Mr Wong, MuMu, Queen Chow) has put together a flavour-led itinerary that will take Sydneysiders on a food tour of Chinatown and to an immersive oyster-tasting experience on the Hawkesbury. Minister for Tourism Steve Kamper says he agrees Sydney needs to do a better job of highlighting its many hidden gems, quoting Time Out's recent global round-up, which saw Sydney rank as the fifth-best city in the world for culture: 'Sydney was just ranked as one of Time Out's top five global cities for culture, but when you ask Australians about Sydney they'll say 'I've already seen the Harbour Bridge'. What is clear in the research is that our icons alone are not enough to get people to visit and revisit Sydney. We need to do a better job at showcasing all our city has to offer, we need to be more than our icons.' At Time Out Sydney, we make it our mission to shine a light on Sydney's best bits on a daily basis, so we're big fans of this approach. And .
