Welcome from Australia
Australia is one of the most unique ecological destinations in the world, home to over 200 different cultures and the oldest known civilization on Earth – the Aboriginal Australians. It is the only continent that is entirely a single country, and it is also the largest inhabited desert in the world. Over 26 million people call Australia home where about 90% of the population lives on the coast away from its desert interior. Its climate is milder and less severe than its Northern Hemisphere counterparts because it is relatively unimpacted by polar winds and fronts, protected from the Antarctic by the Southern Ocean.
Australia is the world’s smallest continent, but it is the sixth largest country in surface area and 55th most populous. One of the most biologically diverse countries on the planet, Australia is home to The Great Barrier Reef – one of the world’s seven natural wonders, and it holds 10% of the world’s diversity where 70% of its species are found nowhere else on Earth.
Australia, nicknamed The Land Down Under because of its location far south of the equator, is considered one of the safest and most wondrous places to visit and to experience one of the most interesting natural environments on Earth.
