Australia is huge! Australia is situated entirely in the southern hemisphere, between the Indian and the Pacific Ocean, south of Maritime Southeast Asia and north of the Antarctic.
Australia is famous for the Outback because of its wide-open spaces, natural wonders, deserts, its beaches. Apart from this, the attractions of Australia are cities such as Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and Sydney. Sydney is a vibrant city is known for its yacht-studded harbour, superb beaches, and the iconic Opera House with its towering sail structure.
On the other hand, Melbourne is quite possibly the coolest city in Australia. It has been named the most livable city in the world and it’s a great place to tour. Highlights include Queen Victoria Market, The Arcades and Secret Lanes, Eureka Square, Federation Skydeck and Graffiti Lane. Another great spot in Australia is Kangaroo Island which is located off the coast of South Australia and is an incredible place in Australia to tour for a few days. It is a spectacular wildlife haven for Kangaroos, Koalas, Seals and Pelicans. There is even a Birds of Prey rehabilitation centre where you can watch a show and learn about birds that are indigenous to the continent.
Foreign relations between neighboring countries Australia and New Zealand, also referred to as Trans-Tasman relations, are extremely close. Both countries share a British colonial heritage as antipodean Dominions and settler colonies, and both are part of the wider Anglosphere. Flight time from Australia to New is 5 hours, 32 minutes. New Zealand pretty much needs to be on your bucket list. Comprised of two main islands, North Island and South Island, New Zealand is an incredible destination to discover. Packed with unforgettable landscapes, breathtaking scenery, and an unparalleled combination of lakes, mountains, and lush greenery, the island nation must be seen to be truly understood. You can get to grips with adventure sports in Queenstown, surrounded by mountain and lake scenery. Then there’s the dramatic Fiordland – part of the landscape that made up Peter Jackson’s movie interpretation of Middle Earth for Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (you can even visit The Shire!). Get to know Maori culture at Rotorua, and if you’re missing city life, head to sunny Auckland – the largest city in New Zealand. Spring and autumn are among the best times to travel the entire country. International flights to Australia are more affordable than in summer; the weather is warming up (or cooling down from summer highs); and the north, from Broome to Cairns, experiences the dry season, offering perfect travel conditions.
