There is nowhere on the planet quite like Australia.
It has lured people from all over the globe with its
amazing scenery and wildlife, laid back lifestyle
and some of the best beaches in the world. Australia
has something for everyone. Perhaps the most enduring
images of Australia are the Outback and Uluru,
the vast outcrop in the ancient and breathtaking Red
centre, or Sydney's Opera House
and harbour Bridge - there is so much here that you
could spend years exploring this vast continent.
With spectacular and unique landscapes from the wilderness
of Tasmania, to the pristine rainforests of
the North, corals sea life of the Great Barrier
Reef, and the majestic Outback are all
teeming with colour and extraordinary wildlife from
cuddly Koalas and Wallabies, to meancing crocodiles
and tropical fish.
And of course there are the cities, from Melbourne's
colourful cafe culture to vibrant Sydney. There is
lots to see in Australia and many people just can't
stop coming back, again and again.
