The history behind Australasia's best backpacker publication

Mission: To provide inspiration for independent travellers.

Established in Australia in 1990, TNT Magazine is Australasia's leading publication for backpackers and independent travellers. In response to the growing backpacker and independent traveller market, on October 3, 2005 TNT Magazine Australia relaunched as a weekly, national publication to increase the travel industry coverage while bringing travellers more travel information, more often.

TNT Magazine Australia unites independent editorial, up-to-date travel, news and sport from abroad, jobs and accommodation, entertainment and, of course, humour to reach and influence more than 460,000 independent travellers visiting Australia each year. Major distribution points include hostels, travel agents, information centres, airports, bus terminals and train stations.
