Overview:
Australia has come a
long way since the days when Captain Cook stumbled ashore to
find an Aboriginal way of life that went back some 40,000 years.
Australia may be an island, but it is also the world's largest
one, and its size encompasses a range of stunning landscapes,
from vast, barren deserts, where kangaroos and emus bound
through the arid surroundings, to tropical rainforests and
rugged mountains. Isolated from other continents, Australia has
an abundance of unique plant and animal life.
Just as the surroundings surprise, so too may
the people. Crocodile Dundee types have long been replaced by
fashionistas browsing for bargains in Australia's world-renowned
cities. Australia embraces its Pacific Rim location, with
multicultural influence throughout, from Sydney's great harbour
that welcomes worldwide visitors, to Melbourne's European
ambience and lively Chinatown. Australia is a real hotchpotch of
elements, catering for every kind of holidaymaker.
