About Australia

There's much to learn about Australia. Endless miles of unspoilt beaches, tropical rainforest, mountain ranges and vast tracts of desert make Australia a country of contrast.
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.
Coober Pedy in South Australia is known as the opal capital of the world. Its population is made up of more than 40 nationalities and, with year-round extremes in temperature, more than 50 per cent of the population live in below-ground 'dugouts'.
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'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 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. Contrast is a way of life in Australia. View it for yourself.
