Roo the Koala
~ Mascot, Chief Client Happiness Officer
Meet Roo the Koala, the lively, caring, and ever-so-cheeky heart of About Australia’s social channels. If you’ve spent any time with us online, you’ve surely run into Roo. She’s always popping up with a bright “G’Day!” and a contagious sense of adventure. Roo isn’t just our mascot; she truly embodies the warmth, optimism, and “No Worries Journey” spirit that guides our entire team.
An enthusiastic explorer with a soft spot for the magical corners of Australia and the South Pacific, Roo inspires travelers to dive in, try something new, and savor every moment…Aussie-style.
Roo recently fell in love with Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays. The sands were so powdery and the water so dazzling. She’ll tell you it was almost too beautiful for words, which is saying something for a koala who always has plenty to say!
When she’s not exploring new destinations or brainstorming ways to make our clients’ journeys extra special, you’ll find Roo leading the charge on our latest travel inspo, sharing up-to-date offers (like a good mate giving you the inside scoop), and popping into our feeds with practical tips, gentle reassurances, and, of course, a dash of that signature Roo cheek and charm.
Above all, Roo stands for every “No Worries Journey” we send out into the world. Her spirit reminds us that fun, kindness, and a sense of adventure belong at the heart of every holiday.
A word from Roo
If you could give one piece of advice to every traveler, what would it be?
“Easy! Go with a curious heart and an open mind! Trust the journey, don’t sweat the small stuff, and remember, half the magic is saying ‘yes’ to new things. Whether you’re trying a fresh seafood lunch, wandering a sun-drenched laneway, or taking that leap into the unknown, go on, give it a go! Your No Worries Journey starts the moment you do.”
