Country Facts

From the heartland’s rugged charm to the coastal cities’ cosmopolitan allure, the contemporary pulse of the cities and the pulsing variation of the native biota, Australia is an island country embedded in the crashing ocean waves, adorned with distinct beauty and culture.

Melbourne’s eclectic charm offers glimpses of history amidst modern vistas. The cute waddles of the Penguin Parade will surely make you fight the urge to cuddle these adorable Phillip Island natives. The waterside enchantments of the Twelve Apostles and the dramatic Shipwreck Coast are another example of Australia’s contrast. The underwater rainbow of the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient rainforests beneath the Kuranda Skyrail keep the contrasting legacy going.

Hop along the Kangaroos and cuddle (don’t!) some Koalas, and after a day of adventures, relax with a sip of tea or wine while munching on meat pies, barbeques, kebabs, and cakes. With fresh seafood and distinct meat preparations in Australia, you are sure to have delightful feasts throughout your journey!
