The vast movements of the earth’s crust created a vast land of Australia, isolated it and
positioned it across the tropical and temperate climatic zones. This land has a small population, which left enormous areas unspoiled. Here you witness an astonishing variety of environments, from desert to rain forest, tropical beach to white snowfield, from big, sophisticated cities to vast uninhabited areas. The tourist will admire a wide array of unique and intriguing fauna and flora, comfortable and sunny climate, and an interesting, cosmopolitan and friendly people. include中文
