Living in Australia
Due to its size, Australia has a range of climates and diverse and beautiful landscapes. All of Australia's capital cities provide the vibrant, cosmopolitan lifestyle and multicultural society that you would expect, but each city has its own special character and charm. Remember, there is at least a day’s drive between each city and, in some instances, over four hours air travel.
But Australia has far more to offer than its great cities. Away from the hustle, bustle and excitement of the more populated areas you'll find:
• the tropical north of Australia, with its lush green foliage and relaxed outdoor lifestyle
• extensive 'outback' areas and vast desert landscapes
• magnificent gorges, natural wonders such as the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock), beautiful bushland, and breathtaking sunsets
• unique plants and animals found nowhere else in the world
• stunning sandy beaches and surf and water activities
• skiing and snowboarding in the mountains during winter.
