Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world; only two people per square kilometer. Since 1945 more than six million people from across the world have come to Australia to live. Today, more than 20 per cent of Australians are foreign born and more than 40 per cent are of mixed cultural origin. Their rich cultural diversity is reflected in food, which embraces most of the world’s cuisines and artfully fuses quite a few of them. You’ll find European flavours, the tantalising spices of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. You can also embrace melting pot of cultures in the many colorful festivals. See samba and capoeira at Bondi’s Brazilian South American festival, dance behind the dragon parade during Chinese New Year or stroll through streets transformed into a lively piazza during the annual Italian celebrations. From national monuments to boutique galleries, Australia’s cities have a rich and thriving creative culture. Attend a performance at Sydney’s iconic Opera House. Soak up Aboriginal and European culture along Adelaide’s North Terrace and browse Aboriginal art or celebrate at an outdoor festival in Darwin. Explore Brisbane’s sprawling cultural spaces, from the Queensland Cultural Centre to the futuristic Powerhouse. After landing in Australia you have the possibility to rent a car for you personal use at Sydney airport, Melbourne airport, Brisbane airport and in other larger airports. Western Australia’s Coral Coast boasts some of the State’s top holiday destinations. It is home to the underwater playground known as the Ningaloo Reef, where you can swim with the world’s biggest fish, the whale shark.
