Top 20 Most Popular Australian Instagram Influencers

Just five years ago, you probably hadn't even heard of the term 'influencer'. Fast forward to 2018 and our Instagram feeds are constantly infiltrated with photos of this new breed posing in exotic locations alongside captions about how #blessed they are. In fact, it's now so common to aspire to become an influencer that there's even a degree to help you get there (yes, you read that right). From prestige parties to luxury getaways, the high-profitable lives of social media influencers look enviable to say the very least and these Aussies are capitalising on their efforts in more ways than one. Just scroll through their feeds and you'll get what we mean.

So, without further ado, we've rounded up the 20 most-followed Australian Instagram influencers you need to be following, pronto.

Floating with the flowers, dreaming a happy little dream 🌸 . Wearing the most beautiful @borntobechic dress ✨ . I've always dreamed big and believed in myself since I was a little girl. It started with wanting to be a rockstar, lead guitarist actually in an all girl band. So I convinced my friends, we learnt to play, and started a band. . After that my passion shifted to saving animals and I dreamt of being a vet. . Then came the teen craziness and I developed my well earned nickname 'Hellcat' {another story} . During my in between high school and university phase I decided to start my own clothing label. I learnt how to sew and started selling my line at local markets. I soon discovered I didn't love sewing, almost broke the machine in frustration, so it didn't last long 😂 . Next I headed abroad. It was deep in the redwood forest I finally decided with utmost certainty that I wanted to be a naturopath. It was challenging at first as it wasn't as accepted as it is today, and many said it would be a mistake. I didn't listen and it wasn't. I loved it so much, and I had the most successful career for 15 years. I helped people all over the world working mostly with autistic children. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I still miss it but I'm much happier I now get to spend more time with my precious family. . I actually never planned to start a blog. I was just taking a break from my work to be a mum so I started this account as a creative outlet. This is where GypsyLovinLight began. It quickly evolved into a passion, a place where I could create and share all that I love. Who knows where this path will lead next, but I do know that I will always trust and follow my hearts call. It led me here and I still absolutely love what I do. . Never stop believing in yourself. At any point in your life you can change and follow that drive and passion for what you love. Trust in yourself and the beautiful unfolding of life. It's that high vibing energy of doing what you love every single day that is so powerful in changing your life into your dreams. . 📸 @bobbybense . #borntobechic #sp #bali #batukaranglembongan

Lol my abs at the start of the trip... certainly not looking like that right now! But hey, when in Europe ... bread, cheese and desserts are everything 🤣 BUT I'm so keen to get back in routine and feeling good again so I'm going to hit the gym for a #kicgirls workout here in London and try and make healthier choices when eating out hehe! Now I know I asked this question last year... but where shall @josh.a.miller and I eat while we're in London!? ❤️
