Australia

Whoever called Australia the lucky country didn't know the half of it.

Signs, Western Australia.

Blessed with tropical rainforests in the north, beaches to die for, the greatest natural reef in the world, temperate climates further south, an interior whose harshness is matched only by its variety and beauty, wildlife that defies belief, seemingly endless sunshine, and mineral wealth that's helped build a vibrant, optimistic economy.

Australia is a country that knows in its bones that life is for enjoying. Once young and raw, modern Australia is a sophisticated nation with all the fine food, shopping and accommodation you could wish for. But beneath that polished surface it's still pure Ocker: big, brash, friendly, and endlessly, endlessly fascinating.
