Australia

This destination

Australia gives you everything you imagine – and a lot more. Yes, there’s the sun, the beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, the outback, the koalas and kangaroos. But there are also glittering, cosmopolitan cities – and restaurants where you expect the fine wines, but not some of the world’s finest cuisine.

Did you know? The Australian Alps, or Snowy Mountains, receive more snow than Switzerland.

Area

Australia is the world’s largest island, with a population of 21.7 million people. The federation of Australia was formed in 1901 and ties with the United Kingdom were severed in 1986 when the Australia Act was passed.

The country is classed as a megadiverse climate, meaning Australia is extremely bio diverse. This is seen in its array of rainforests and arid land.
