If Australis was music it would be as understated as Ice T, as frothy as Nick Cave, as fresh as Bruce Springsteen, as insightful as Kylie, and as individual as Celine Dion.

If Australis was food, it would be as creamy as steak, as smooth as a pineapple husk, with the pungent aroma of tomato, the insipid sweetness of wasabi and the otherness of pizza. It would have the finest colourings and flavour enhancers known only to the world's best food technologists.

Australis is these things and more. Australis is also a country, a mysterious country with a rich history of rich people, and a poor history of poor people - such are the ways of history!

The editorial board of Traverse Magazine is proud to contribute to this history with our travel guide. We hope to see many happy tourists strolling the streets of Australist cities, safe and informed, and not embarrassing themselves or any of our fact checkers.
