An Australian vacation offers rich experiences and much to learn – natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef, the ancient culture of the Aborigines, landscapes from the harsh Outback to lush tropical rainforests, fascinating animals like kangaroos and koalas, fun cities with spectacular sights like the Sydney Opera House and so much more. Of course there are the 'Aussies' themselves - some of the friendliest and warmest English speaking people with a great sense of humor. In a country where friends are 'mates', visitors are welcomed like long lost cousins!
