Ranking method

CA Influence Index™ (CII): how we grade Australian travel influencers

CII is a market-relative score from 0 to 99. It combines local audience fit, engagement against creators of the same size, average Reel views, and estimated real-audience share. The creators above are ordered by this score, not by follower count.

25%of the score

Audience fit

How much of the audience sits in the Australian market. Full marks once 80% of it is there.

30%of the score

Engagement

Likes and comments against creators of the same size here. Full marks at 3x that median.

30%of the score

View power

Average Reel views against follower count. Full marks at twice the following.

15%of the score

Audience quality

Share of followers reading as real people. Full marks at 90%.

Engagement is scored against the Australian median for a creator’s own size: around 0.7% under 50K followers, around 0.6% above 250K. Both are rounded, because the study measures them by search rather than by census.

  • A+90-99
  • A80-89
  • B65-79
  • C50-64
  • Dunder 50

The score is capped at 99 so it never implies certainty. Read the full CA Influence Index methodology. The benchmark is national, not global. Here is the market behind it.

Market benchmark

The Australian Instagram market behind this ranking

The 25 influencers above against the Australian Instagram market: each row puts their median next to the market's.

Read the Australia Creator Economy Report, the measurement this chart is scored against.

How the selected 25 compare with Australia

  • Pink = the 25 travel influencers above
  • Grey = a typical Australian Instagram account with 10K+ followers
  • Each bar is a median, not an average, so one very large account cannot pull a row up

Median Australian audience share

the selected 25: 67%
Australian influencers: 29%

Median engagement rate

the selected 25: 4.2%
Australian influencers: 0.69%

Median Reel views per post

the selected 25: 55,786
Australian influencers: 5,300

Source: the Click Analytic Australian market study, measured 14 September 2026.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask before briefing anyone on this page.

01How was this list put together?

From 2,977 Australian Instagram accounts naming travel in the bio, between 10,000 and 1,000,000 followers. Each had to show 30% of the audience in Australia, 2% engagement, 70% real followers, 1,000 average Reel views and a post in the last thirty days. Publication and product accounts, second accounts, and bios built around football, fashion or food then came out.

02Why does the biggest account sit 24th?

Lewis Pullman (@lewispullman_) carries 75,127 followers, more than anyone else here, and a 92% Australian audience, but 40,916 average Reel views against a following that size works out at 0.54 views per follower, the lowest ratio on the page, and the score lands at a B at 78. Jordy Liackman (@jordy_liackman) leads with an A+ at 99 on 14,231 followers.

03Why does this page lean so hard on Reel views?

Because travel reach happens in the feed rather than in the follower list. Twenty of the 25 average more Reel views than they hold followers, DEANO (@deanciantar) by 13.2 to one on 145,201 average views. The CA Influence Index reads views per follower alongside audience quality, the real-follower share, engagement against same-sized accounts and posting recency.

04How Australian are these audiences?

67% at the median, and this is the widest column on the page. The Camp Man (@thecampman) reaches 92% Australian on 13,508 followers while Andrea (@lavidadownunder) reaches 35% on 33,671, so the smaller account puts more Australians in front of a campaign. Nothing under 30% got through the screen.

05What kinds of travel creators are here?

Seven caravan and van life creators, four television travel presenters, four outdoor adventure and camping creators, three destination guide creators, two wildlife creators, two backpackers, two stays and food creators and one points and flight reviewer. That adds to 25, and three of the presenters come from the same long-running series.

06How current is the data?

The reading is September 2026, with every account having posted inside the thirty days before it. Travel accounts move with where the person is: one of these was posting out of Kyrgyzstan when the data was pulled, another from far north Queensland. Read the page as that month's picture and check where a creator actually is before briefing them.
