Australia has two parts. The central and western areas of Australia are arid and flat with sparse populations, while the coastal parts of Australia are widely populated and thriving. Because of these differences many people visit Australia.
Now Australia is booming – the population is growing faster than any other wealthy nation, its multiculturalism is harmonious, and the array of things to visit is amazing. Australia has 25,800km of coastline and over 7,000 beaches so you are spoilt for choice when it comes to beach holidays. Yorke Peninsula on the south coast of Australia is a popular surfing spot and is near Kangaroo Island, one of the best places to spot these amazing marsupials.
Sydney is the capital city of New South Wales and one of Australia’s most famous cities, renowned for its striking waterfront Opera House with its distinctive design in the shape of a ship’s sails.

Melbourne is the capital and most populous city in the state of Victoria, and the second most populous city in the whole of Australia. It is referred to as Australia's 'cultural capital', being home to many of the country's oldest and largest cultural institutions.
