I have had many friends travel overseas, and still I ask them, have you explored your own country first! I love life and would go anywhere, whether it be in Australia or any country in the world, but wouldn't you wan't to know your own country!

I know some people who haven't travelled beyond their home state, and others that travel to the same destination within Australia every time they have a holiday.
I don't see any reason to criticise them for that, although it isn't what I would choose.
When I talk to them of sleeping in a donga, or of the view from the cliffs above the bight,or places like Kalgoorlie, I might as well be talking about Mars. They will never experience these things(probably they don't want to) yet they are uniquely Australian.
It is said, travel broadens the mind. I think it allows you to see other lifestyles and with a bit of luck a different point of view. I suppose it depends how far out of your comfort zone you are prepared to go.
Some people enjoy camping and caravans, nothing wrong with that , but it's not my personal favourite.
I don't think it is necessary to travel all over Australia before going overseas. Or that it is necessary to travel at all, if you don't want to.
