TRAVEL GUIDE TO AUSTRALIA
About Australia
Australia is a popular travel destination amongst tourists due to its climate, beaches, relaxed atmosphere, unique wildlife and much more.
Australia has a relatively small population of 22 million, and though most of the population lives on the east or west coast, visitors will notice that Australia's cities seem much less crowded than many cities, and have many parks and gardens, even in heavily built up areas.
Travellers who visit multiple areas in Australia will also get a sense of how large Australia is. From north to south, the continent is approx 3,700 km, and 4,000 km from east to west. If you are planning a driving holiday, make sure you have plenty of time, driving from Sydney to Melbourne is 881 km and would require 10 hours or more of driving.
Australia's unique animals are a huge attraction for many tourists, as Australia has animals that simply do not exist anywhere else in the world. While it is not safe to try to approach these animals in the wild, there are many zoos and animal sanctuaries in Australia where you can get close, and even touch and hold them.
Australia is famous for its natural attractions, such as Uluru (Ayers Rock), or the Twelve Apostles on Victoria's south coast, the crystal clear waters of the west coast, the vast deserts of Australia's "red center" or the tropical or temperate rainforests in much of the east.
Australia is also a very multicultural country. Over time migrants from many countries have moved to Australia to make their new home. In major cities such as Melbourne and Sydney, you will find diverse cultures, specialty foods, clothes and more.
Whether you are looking for unforgettable experiences, amazing scenery, nightlife and parties, relaxation, or excitement, Australia has it all!
