Easter school holidays normally see many of us pack up the car and head on an adventure, but this year we'll be spending much of it at home.
But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the amazing things Australia has to offer.
Tourism Australia managing director Phillipa Harrison said families can have an Australian adventure while at home.
"Families across Australia have had to put their Australian holiday plans on hold until it is safe to travel again," Ms Harrison said.
"Until then why not immerse yourself and your family in some of the most iconic and incredible destinations and experiences our country has to offer - all from the comfort and safety of your home."
And when the time is right, families can take holidays together again in our beautiful country.
Until then, Tourism Australia has come up with a list of fun and interactive ways to explore Australia from home:
Animal fun for the whole family

SeaLife Livestreams
Or you can tune into live streams of cute and cuddly koalas alongside other Australian native animals with Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
