Travel Guide, Australia
Australia is an easy travel destination. Everything is well organised - and you find nearly everything there.
Australia is the 6th biggest state in the world from size of the land (and the smallest continent). And by inhabitants it is small, with only slightly more than 20 million - still growing as Australia is an immigration country.
The Europeans came back in the late 18th century - they are the overwhelming ethnic group today. Aboriginies are quite rare in most cities.
People call it OZ or down under - and for most visitors it is a long journey to go there. So stay there some time!
