The number of Australian residents travelling overseas has fallen to a three-month low.
There were 740,600 residents heading abroad in February for stays of a year or less, seasonally-adjusted figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed on Monday.
That was down by 1.4 per cent or 10,300 from January and the lowest since November but still up 44,900 on February last year.
At the same time, the number of foreign visitors arriving in Australia was little changed in February, at 562,300, but up by 54,000 over the year to February.
Despite the favourable shift in traveller numbers over the year, there were still 178,300 more Australian residents heading abroad than foreign visitors arriving in February.
