Australia is a country of contrasts and is a fascinating place to visit, with unique fauna and flora found no where else in the world, a coral reef stretching from north to south on both it’s east and west coasts, though the latter, the Great Barrier Reef is better known, and a myriad of other wonderful things to discover, explore and learn about. Not only is it the closest Western country to Asia, it's also clean, safe and easy to get to.
