Australia , a small continent in itself but also one of the largest countries on Earth, lies between the Pacific and Indian Oceans in the southern hemisphere. An isolated but highly developed country, Australia captivates with its unique natural wonders and exotic wildlife.
From its rich culture to its stunning beaches to its off-the-beaten-path rich people data adventures in the Outback , it's easy to see why this captivating country is such a well-rounded travel destination.
The sixth largest country in the world and a continent in its own right, Australia covers nearly 2.97 million square kilometres that you can enjoy at your own pace. An ideal destination for a road trip.
Although it represents only about 3% of the population, Australia maintains a strong Aboriginal identity through the preservation of its diverse indigenous peoples. This population includes more than 600 nations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians .
These indigenous people have been spreading across Australia for over 50,000 years and are the first settlers before colonisation. Today you can see many of their sacred places, including the most famous and sacred of all, Uluru .
Also known as Ayers Rock , this monolithic sandstone rock (or mountain) has hosted indigenous ceremonies for over 10,000 years, and the local Anangu community believe their ancestral beings still live there.
