Australia welcomes you

Australia is a vast continent with a land mass greater than Europe but with a population of only 22 million. Located south of Indonesia and Asia, Australia's once European culture is now truly multicultural with many Australians of Asian, Indian and European heritage. This rich diversity has added to the quality of the Australian way of life.

Australia is a big place. The northern regions are tropical with massive areas of rain forest and kilometres of untouched, white sand beaches. As you travel south down the coasts vast cities rise out of the ocean, ultra-modern Brisbane, the Global hub of Sydney, Canberra home to our government, Melbourne, Australia's cultural centre and far fl ung Perth known for it's wine and mining production. Inland there a huge areas of farmland and an almost uninhabited desert wilderness we call "˜The Red Centre".

Travel within Australia is easy, Australians often say they feel like they are on holiday every day of the year. Australians love the outdoors and welcome visitors with open arms.

We're proud of our beautiful country.
