There is still a lot left to discover in Australia. The huge continent simply offers too many deserted coastlines, seemingly endless stretches of desert as well as tropical rainforests.
ONCE THE CONVICTS’ EXILE
“I found nothing there except for sand, flies and animal tracks”. 200 years ago one of the first sailors to land in Australia returned to Europe with this report. As a result of comments such as these, it took many years before the exploration of this continent, which lies entirely in the Southern Hemisphere, gathered momentum with the founding of a convict colony by the British and European settlement did not begin until the 18th century. Today, the sailor’s verdict would elicit only a shake of the head, for Australia is a country with many faces. From the lush green jungle in the north of the continent to the parched, arid deserts in the interior to the mountains and lakes of southern Tasmania, it offers a host of entirely different, unique landscapes. Apart from its scenic beauty, Australia offers a universe of animals and plants unique on the planet – such as the kangaroos and koalas that are found only in Australia, or the platypus, a relic of the days when the Earth was young.
DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF THE CORAL SEAS
The Great Barrier Reef, which stretches 2000 km along Australia’s east coast, is considered one of the world’s largest and most beautiful coral reefs, with an extraordinary wealth of species and colours. The endless space and scale of this country never cease to fascinate. Visitors often have the impression of being themselves pioneers and discoverers of totally unknown, uninhabited regions. Although most of Australia is uninhabited, a string of large cities along the coast - Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide andr Perth - provide ample scope for cultural tourism as well. Australians’ uncomplicated, open approach helps visitors feel at home quickly as they get to know the country and its people.
