about Australia , Australia known as the land of kangaroos and Koalas. It is unique; its amazing lanscape and seacape, magnificent sights, the historic towns, it is biggest attraction is its natural beauty. Golden beaches, baked red deserts and glamorous cities. An ancient indigenous history and a young, vibrant culture; welcome to Australia. Australia is an immense country with many unique characteristics. It's also known as ' another world '. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to chilly southern beaches. Australia is an enormous country, and visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next, followed by whale shark excursions in Western Australia. Visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next, will have to radically re-think their grasp of geography and perspective of distance. It is this sheer vastness that gives Australia - and its diverse population - much of its character.

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometer. Australia boasts over 7,000 beaches - more than any other nation. Australia is big and it is empty. Only 19 million people in an area the same size as the United States or half as big again as Europe. Most of these people live in a handful of coastal cities.

Australia's climate and the fact that it is the driest continent on earth makes it a fabulous holiday destination all year round, whatever you're planning to do. Australia is a land that can be visited all year round. Summer is from December to February, spring season is from September to November, winter season is from June to August and autumn season is from March to May.

There is an enormous variety of authentic Aboriginal art for sale or viewing. From traditional dot and bark paintings, modern 'earth pigment' screen prints, decorated jewellery and wood carvings, to boomerangs, didgeridoos, weapons, ceramics, scarves, even compact discs of traditional music. In whatever form it takes, the art of this amazing civilisation should not be missed on your visit

Australia is an exciting country full of spirit, colour and contrast. Spirit is the feeling or a young nation on the move. Colour is green, pristine wilderness, lush rainforest, blue skies, sparkling water, silver beaches and the red earth of the outback.

places worth seeing, Sydney is sunny, sexy, sophisticated. Sydney is a city of contrasts. Beaches, lush national parks, the beautiful harbour and a modern cosmopolitan city are all in close proximity. It is Australias largest city. Home to the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge spanning Sydney Harbour, with a view of the also famous and spectacular Opera House. A visit to Australia is not complete with visting Sydney. The shopping, the restaurants and the amazing cultural sites are just a few things to do while you are here. Take a cruise on Sydney Harbour and view some of the palatial buildings, beautiful yachts and of course the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House are best seen from the water. Sydney Opera House, an extraordinary structure on the harbour at Bennelong Point, is one of the world's premier performing-arts centres. Opened in 1973, it has taken its place among the world's most important buildings. It was designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon and took almost 15 years to build.

Melbourne, the capital of Victoria and a cultural hub, is known for the good things in life food, fashion, sport and entertainment. This is a city of style, theatres, architecture, trams and art. Originally a gold-rush town in the mid 1800s, Melbourne is Australia's second largest city. A cultured and cosmopolitan place on the banks of the Yarra river in the far southeast of the country. The city's Victorian architecture is impressive and mostly blends well with some ultra-modern buildings, plentiful green spaces and picturesque riverside walks. City activities, whether cultural, sporting or pure entertainment are creative, varied and interesting, bars are buzzing and restaurants are superb - especially for Asian cuisine, while both live music and club scenes are thriving. Everything in Melbourne is cheaper than Sydney, tourist herds far less obtrusive and there's a free circular tram. Melbourne is more dynamic, Sydney more relaxed. Melburnians claim that their city is one of the world's most liveable; could that imply that Sydney may be one of the most visitable. Sydney certainly outshines Melbourne in two tourist areas. It has a more immediate, magnificent charm due to its wonderful harbour setting and those world famous icons - the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, while the climate is somewhat better. Winter in Melbourne is colder than Sydney though both cities can have excessively hot summers.

Kangaroo Island, near the tip of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, is Australia's third largest island. Civilisation and wilderness meet there in harmony and dolphins, sea lions, penguins, kangaroos and koalas live in a natural environment.

Pinnacles and Bungles, Western Australia's ancient land houses several magnificent wonders including the Pinnacles - thousands of pointed rock forms on a red desert expanse, and the Bungle Bungles, a gold and black-striped range of landforms.

World heritage wilds, The Tropical North Queensland region is the ideal starting point for travellers wanting to explore the natural wonderland made up of the Great Barrier Reef, wet tropics rainforest, outback savannah plains and the vast wilderness of Cape York Peninsula.

Tropical North Queensland, with the city of Cairns as its major gateway. It is a vast region encompassing beach and coastal wetlands, mountains, tablelands, forests and Gulf savanna grassland, plus a tremendous amount of things to do and see.

Lord Howe Island, the lone survivor of an extinct volcano chain and the world's southernmost coral reef. It is part of New South Wales and at the same time a biological ark some 450 kilometres off mainland Australia.

how to get Australia , Virtually all visitors to Australia arrive by air. About 25 international airlines fly to Australia. The main international airports are Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Cairns. There are plenty of connections to Asia, Europe and the USA, but Australia's remoteness makes flights relatively expensive and long.
