Tourist information - Australia
Australia is an island continent located in southeast
Asia and forming, with the island of Tasmania, the Commonwealth
of Australia. The continent is bounded on the north by the Timor
Sea, the Arafura Sea, and the Torres Strait, on the east by the
Coral Sea and the Tasman Sea, on the south by the Bass Strait and
the Indian Ocean and on the west by the Indian Ocean. Australia's
coastline measures some 36,735 km in total. Australia is the smallest
continent in the world, but the sixth largest country.
Australia has the largest reserves of natural resources
of any country in the world. Australia is made up of six states
- New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria,
and Western Australia - and two territories - the Australian Capital
Territory and the Northern Territory. There is a tremendous amount
to explore in Australia; endless miles of unspoilt beaches, tropical
rainforests, mountain ranges and vast expanses of desert all of
which make Australia a country of varying contrast.
Australia's climate, in particular the fact that
it is the driest continent on earth, makes it a great holiday destination
all day every day. Here you will find amazing natural wealth, awesome
scenery and exotic plant and animal life. In the cities the nightlife
and culinary delights equal anywhere else in the world.
