Evolving based on the oh so beautiful Aboriginal Dreamtime stories with a development involving no fewer than 250 language groups, the world's smallest continent, Australia is endemic, megadiverse, unique. Australia meaning "Southern" is the flattest, oldest and driest inhabited continent or the world's largest island. Home of the red kangaroo, with the most famous icon-the shell shaped Sydney Opera House, Australia is there to amaze with its dreamy landscape which inspired most national poets and painters.
Start your journey with the world renowned Sydney Opera House. Continue with Ayers Rock also known as Uluru, which represents the most recognizable natural icon. This massive sandstone rock, now a World Heritage Site used to be sacred for the Aboriginal people; inside it you can find ancient painting and rock carvings. Get your hands on the famous Akubra Hat while visiting the colorful markets of Art and Craft on the Gold Coast or have some family fun in Brisbane's Wet'n'Wild Water World. Observe megadiversity and admire pure, unspoiled nature in SpringbrockNational Park, the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary or Gondwana Rainforests.
The world's smallest continent may be isolated and surrounded by oceans but it has numerous attractions to blow your mind.
