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.

Pause

Mon, 6 Feb 2012 | By rachthe1st | Views [9]

Wed, 1 Feb 2012 | By john_hockley | Views [36]

We've been really unlucky with the weather here in Australia. It's been extremely wet, resulting in quite a lot of flooding in Queensland and this has meant we haven't been able to do everything we wanted to. We arrived at the Mon Repos turtle hatchery ... Read more >
