When you think of Australia, what is the first thing that comes to mind – kangaroos in the Outback, the Sydney Opera House, or the Great Barrier Reef? The island down-under is a diverse gem, offering everything from cutting edge cities to gorgeous landscapes, rain forests and some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world.
A country like no other: the locals are friendly and the activities are plentiful. Set in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Australia is divided into eight provinces, all of which offer a great variety of sights, activities, and cultures to be discovered. Diversity defines this island nation, as travelers can go from coast-to-coast and engage in a variety of events – snowboarding, skiing, scuba diving, outback touring, rain forest exploring, and wildlife watching.

Australia boasts many cities rich with culture. Melbourne, the second most populated city on the continent, was named one of the most livable cities in the world; it is home to various festivals like the Melbourne International Arts, Film, and Comedy Festivals, and even the Melbourne Fringe Festival—an independent arts festival hosted yearly.
On the east coast, Sydney awes visitors with its beautiful Sydney Harbour and famous, shell-style Sydney Opera House, both of which have been featured in various movies and children’s flicks—like the 2003 Disney-Pixar animated movie, Finding Nemo. |
