Quartermaine Travel Since 1954
Founded in 1954 by Lance Quartermaine Senior, Quartermaine Travel emerged from a passenger shipping and freight agency pursuit to enter the travel industry in post-war Australia. Recognising the burgeoning demand for accessible travel, Lance Quartermaine expanded the company's services to include migration travel, advocating for affordable options and working closely with the West Australian government to streamline the process.
Embracing an ethos of inclusivity, Quartermaine pioneered marketing strategies that brought affordable travel to the everyman, introducing affordable package holidays and making air travel accessible. This dedication to accessibility and affordability propelled Quartermaine Travel to become one of Western Australia's largest private travel companies.
