Instagram’s eagerly awaited end of year data has landed, revealing some exciting new trends and a few surprises too, with travel clearly dominating the spectrum.

With more than seven million monthly active users in Australia alone, Instagram seemingly is the hottest place to share and make moments, with Australians, celebrities and even public figures using the platform to connect with the global community.

This year, Instagram’s Year in Review comes with a collection of interesting trends, with the following lists covering the most geo-tagged locations in Australia, the most Instagrammable dates in 2016, the top travel hashtags used (because you’re not really on holidays unless you’ve Instagrammed it), and top shared hotels.
