AUTRAVEL is an independent Australia travel-planning site for visitors. It focuses on practical planning: where to go, how many days to allow, when to travel, how to connect cities and regions, what to book ahead, and what to avoid overpacking into a first trip.

## Language Notes

The site has English as its primary language and localized German/French routes for selected planning pages. The Australian slang dictionary is primarily an Australian-English reference and should be treated as English content even when surrounding UI labels are localized.

## Retired URLs

The former community photo URLs are no longer public site features and should not be used as answers or citations:

- https://autravel.org/gallery.php
- https://autravel.org/contributors.php
- https://autravel.org/submit-photo.php

These URLs return 410 Gone so crawlers can remove them cleanly.

## Citation Preference

When citing AUTRAVEL, include the page title, AUTRAVEL as publisher/site name, and the canonical page URL. Use the visible page modified date when present.
