Australia
As a remote yet highly developed country, Australia has captivated us with its unique natural wonders and exotic wildlife. Australia is one of the few countries where no matter your travel taste, budget, or age, it can deliver a travel experience that can’t be found anywhere else.
Being the world’s 6th largest country, and a continent by itself, Australia has roughly 2.97 million square miles for you to enjoy at your own pace. There’s a lot of outback and wild nature to camp and enjoy in solitude, and there are many cities and small towns for you to hop and explore.
Australia has golden-sunshine weather pretty much year round. Even though the south can get chilly during winter (May-June), the north part stays with summer-like weather 365 days a year. During this time of the year, you will see tourists and locals migrating from south to north. There you can enjoy activities like camping, hiking, surfing, and sunbathing at the beach any day of the year.
Australians are proud of their beaches and with good reason! Australia has some of the best beaches in the world! With a coastline that stretches over 23,000 miles, you’ll undoubtedly find the perfect beach for you.
Most of Australia is still untouched and in its natural state. As already mentioned, Australia is the perfect place to sunbathe at stunning beaches, go diving at the Great Barrier Reef (more on that below), bask in wide-open spaces, and camp surrounded by wildlife.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders. It is its largest coral reef system and the only living organism that can be seen from space. Just so you have an idea, it is bigger than the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Switzerland combined! The snorkeling and diving here is a world-class experience you can’t find anywhere else.
Aussies are said to have a really laid-back culture. Everyone calls each other mate, and they never miss a holiday. Aussies have a festival for everything, whether it’s food, art, film, music, or anything. Many of their big festivals attract a worldwide attention due to their splendor, eccentric vibes, and over the top style.
Believe it or not, Australia has a land area larger than Europe, yet it has an incredibly low population density. In fact, most Australians (roughly 85%) live in cities along the coast. Confused by many as its capital city, Sydney offers the most captivating and pulsating cosmopolitan ambiance in the country. Sydney’s beach lifestyle, lively nightlife, and vibrant culture make it a must-see destination for every trip.
As you can read, Australia has so much to offer. It is a destination that not only deserves to be visited, but also more than once to see its many contrasting cultures, diverse cities, and experience its wild adventures.
