Australia's biggest attraction is its natural beauty. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to dense tropical rainforest to chilly southern beaches. Scattered along the coasts, its cities blend a European enthusiasm for art and food with a laid-back love of sport and the outdoors.
Visitors expecting to see an opera in Sydney one night and meet Crocodile Dundee the next will have to re-think their grasp of geography in this huge country. It is this sheer vastness that gives Australia - and its diverse population - much of its character.

I'm back in Broome. My house is full of
strangers. The weather is a hot liquid overcoat. I am no longer a underwater

Money can strangely lose all significance once you have
none. On the proviso that you have friends who will compromise their credit
rating on your behalf. When the universe deemed that the last $8 in my account
