About the Country

Australia, a massive land mass made up of 25,800 kilometers of coastline and more then 7000 beaches, is truly an amazing place. The largest island on earth or the smallest continent, whichever way you want to look at it. Its harsh interior means that most of its population live within 20km of the coast therefore making swimming, surfing, sunbathing and BBQ- ing some of the most poplular Australian pass times.

Be sure to visit The Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands and be inspired by the barron redness of the outback deserts and Uluru (Ayers Rock). Don´t miss the opportunity to get up close and personal with Australia's unique wildlife, like the Kangaroo’s and Koala bears you will find in Australia Zoo.
