The Great Land Down Under is filled with unique wildlife, amazing rock formations and pristine beaches like nowhere else in the world. While Australia might be one of the largest countries in the world (6th) the population doesn’t reflect it with an extremely low population density per square kilometer.
While Australia does have some naturally occurring charm with a native species, the cultural scene is robust. From hundred year old small towns in the middle of the Great Sandy Desert to huge bustling capital cities with some of the best restaurants, bars and shopping in the world. The Australian lifestyle is relaxed, and with common phrases like “G-day Mate”, it’s hard to feel left out. There’s nothing quite like an Australian Summer, you’ll see Aussies and tourists alike flocking to the nearest beach to cool down.
