Australia

Australia is a land of contrasts and the only country that spans an entire continent. With a population of 27 million, it’s the sixth largest country in the world by land area and a true melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, shaped by waves of migration. Our coastal lifestyle is a defining feature, where golden beaches, stunning cliffs, and vibrant seaside communities create a laid-back atmosphere. At the heart of our identity are Indigenous Australians, the world’s oldest continuous living culture. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have nurtured a profound relationship with the land for 65,000 years, intertwining nature, spirits, and traditions. From ancient rock art to sacred sites such as Uluru, Indigenous heritage offers a glimpse into a rich and timeless history. Renowned for its unique wildlife found nowhere else on the planet you’ll find kangaroos, koalas, wombats, platypus, emus and a colourful array of native birdlife. While the world knows iconic landmarks like Sydney's dazzling Opera House, the red sands of Uluru, and the underwater wonderland of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia has so much more to offer with its natural beauty, cultural depth, and spirited people.
