Short Guide to Australia

Australia actually has the privilege of holding the title of being the world's 6th largest nation. This humungous territory, however, is fairly sparsely populated and is actually the least populated land in the world due to the tiny population in relation to the actual landmass.

Australia does not lack places to see and unique environments to discover. First of all, there is the world-famous outback, a remote area of land teeming with all sorts of animals and dangerous creatures of the night. Who can forget the Great Barrier Reef, a collection of some of the finest coral reefs in the world, and enjoy spectacular ariel views from the sky.

One of the most popular attractions of Australia remains its amazing variety of beaches. Enjoy sun, sand and surfing on any one of Australia's seven thousand beaches. Last but not least is this country's vast rainforest region found more towards the western part of the country. All in all, Australia is a fascinating place to explore and proudly boasts a magnificent two thousand national parks and fourteen world heritage sites.

The original home of the Aborigine people, this land today is a proverbial melting pot of cultures. The Australian Aborigines are believed to have one of the oldest cultures in the world and in recent times there has been an increased interest in keeping the traditions of the past alive.

Europeans discovered Australia in the year seventeen seventy via the explorations of James Cook. It was used as a gigantic prison upon its discovery to house convicts before it was discovered and transformed into the modern and civilised territory. Today it is simply one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, attracting visitors from every corner of the globe. Visitors come to enjoy the wonderful weather Australia has to offer the whole year-round.

The official language of Australia is English. Travel to the region is fairly safe, however, being a tropical environment it is necessary to have a vaccination against yellow fever if coming from an infected country. Mosquitoes are a bit of a problem in the northern parts of the country, and it would be advised to keep some form of repellant with you if travelling to that area.

People who are interested in exploring Australia's beaches should be vigilant about jellyfish and heed the advice given by authorities in that regard. Another risk whilst on the beaches is the possibility of getting badly sunburnt. To protect yourself from this possibility ensure you have adequate sunblock protection and do not spend excessive amounts of time in direct sunlight.
