Overview

Australia is a country as big your imagination. Kick back on a beach as white as your mother's wedding dress in Western Australia; lose yourself in the labyrinthine laneways of culture-rich Melbourne. Turn south to visit hundred year old giants that loom large in the forests or take on Sydney, Sure it's got deadly spiders, snakes and sharks, but they don't stop people from coming here, never mind living here. And for good reason. From the prehistoric gorges of National Park, to the white sails of the Sydney Opera House.
