Australia
We have 23 million people, 50 million kangaroos and lots of koalas, wombats, possums, dolphins, wallabies, colorful birds and many other animals and unique plants.
Aussies love surfing, scuba diving, football, sky diving, beach BBQs, hiking (we say “bush walking”), lying on the beach, big blue skies, camping under the stars, drinking beer and wine and almost anything you can do outside (and with friends!)
Visit Uluru, Kakadu, Fraser Island, The Great Barrier Reef, The Opera House, The Twelve Apostles – the list is endless.
