Collections can be created to group destinations under a common theme or along a route – for instance ‘New Zealand West Coast Must Visit Destinations’, ‘Spectacular Wedding Locations in Regional NSW’, Amazing Dive Sites, QLD’s Top Rainforest Views’, ‘World’s Best Waterfalls’, ‘Chicago’s Best Night Spots’, ‘Painted Grain Silos of the Outback’ ‘World’s Must-See Street Art’, ‘Kim’s Ireland Landscape Photography Destinations’, ‘Banksy’s Around The World’ … any publicly accessible location-specific images can be save to a collection.
Collections can help people share niche travel passions that may not appeal to a large audience and therefore not be worth marketing to from a tourism perspective. Help people from train lovers to landscape photographers and regional road trippers find and travel to these niche destinations.
Help like-minded souls find the treasures you have found, show what can be found in regional or off-the-beaten-track destinations, and help worthy destinations gain visibility.
PicTrax is not designed for images of commonly found items like a McDonald’s burger or a barista-made coffee. However, if there’s something exceptional or distinctive about a place, it’s perfect for sharing on PicTrax. For instance, consider the extraordinary New Zealand lake-to-plate salmon fishing restaurant called ‘Hook,’ where you can catch a salmon in the breathtaking surroundings and have it expertly prepared and served by professional chefs. Since this experience is genuinely unique and tied to a specific location, PicTrax is the ideal platform to showcase it.
Let fellow travellers find and explore your remarkable travel discoveries and recommendations, ranging from extraordinary restaurants, vibrant nightclubs, captivating statues, intriguing museums, thrilling theme parks, well-known tourist destinations, picturesque public parks, breathtaking views, peculiarly shaped trees, and other remarkable sights and experiences that are specific to certain locations.
Share the magic of your travel adventures on PicTrax and help others uncover extraordinary places and experiences worth exploring!

Not every travel destination is suitable for every traveler. Parents with young children may face challenges on rugged mountain trails. One breathtaking view in the Blue Mountains may have convenient parking and public restrooms nearby, while another may require climbing a perilous cliff to reach.
When you upload an image to PicTrax, you have the opportunity to provide information on accessibility options and activities using a set of icons. By tapping an icon, you can add one or more searchable hashtags to the post, helping others discover and assess the destination’s suitability for their travel plans. You can remove automatically applied hashtags and add additional ones as needed.
It’s important to consider the experiences of others with various physical and psychological considerations. Those with mobility restrictions can become frustrated when confronted with steep stairs blocking their path to the intended destination. Individuals with IBS may want to know if there are accessible bathroom facilities available. People with high sensitivity might struggle in noisy or crowded environments, while those seeking physically challenging experiences may look for places that test their agility.
By using accurate hashtags and descriptions, we can assist people in finding highly suitable, accessible, and enjoyable experiences that align with their specific needs and preferences.
As a user-generated content generator, PicTrax offers several benefits:
Credit for Liked Images: We appreciate and support travellers who share their experiences. When other users like your images by tapping the heart icon in Detail View, you earn redeemable credits. The monetary value of these credits, denominated in AUD, can vary over time.
Cash In Credits: Once you accumulate $20.00 or more in credits, you can redeem them for cash. You can cash in your credits, up to $70 per transfer, through the website here.
Exposure for Professionals: If you’re a professional or semi-professional photographer, tour operator, or represent a regional destination, you can include your URL in the details of your uploaded images. This allows you to generate business and increase your exposure among our user base.
By providing these incentives, PicTrax encourages engagement, supports content creators, and fosters a community where travelers can showcase their experiences while potentially benefiting financially.

These images may be safely uploaded to the user’s private profile.
If you see an image that is explicit, inaccurate for the location or otherwise inappropriate, tap on the reporting icon (exclamation alert triangle) to report it.

PicTrax admin may make these images ‘private’, in order to protect the app’s ideal functionality of travel destination sharing. A sunset over a rocky outcrop is another matter, the rock formation makes the image destination-specific and therefore welcome…
