Australia is a unique and diverse country in every way – in culture, population, climate, geography, and history.<\/p>\n

Culture<\/h2>\n

Australian culture is as broad and varied as the country’s landscape. Australia is multicultural and multiracial and this is reflected in the country’s food, lifestyle and cultural practices and experience.\u00a0Australia has an important heritage from its indigenous people, which plays a defining role in the cultural landscape.\u00a0This diversity of influences creates a cultural environment in Australia that is lively, energised, innovative and outward looking.<\/p>\n

Population<\/h2>\n

As of October 2012, Australia’s population is roughly 22.7 million people. The most populous states are New South Wales and Victoria, with their respective capitals, Sydney and Melbourne, the largest cities in Australia.\u00a0Australia’s population is concentrated along the coastal region of Australia from Adelaide to Cairns, with a small concentration around Perth, Western Australia. The centre of Australia is sparsely populated.<\/p>\n

Climate<\/h2>\n

The majority of Australia experiences temperate weather for most of the year.\u00a0The northern states of Australia are typically warm all the time, with the southern states experiencing cool winters but rarely sub-zero temperatures.\u00a0Snow falls on the higher mountains during the winter months, enabling skiing in southern New South Wales and Victorian ski resorts, as well as the smaller resorts in Australia’s island state, Tasmania.<\/p>\n

Geography<\/h2>\n

Australia is an island continent and the world’s sixth largest country (7,682,300 sq km).\u00a0Lying between the Indian and Pacific oceans, the country is approximately 4,000 km from east to west and 3,200 km from north to south, with a coastline 36,735 km long.\u00a0Canberra is Australia’s capital city. With a population of approximately 320,000 people and situated in the Australian Capital Territory, Canberra is roughly half way between the two largest cities Melbourne and Sydney.\u00a0Australia has 19 listed World Heritage properties. Australia is also famous for its landmark buildings including the Sydney Harbour Bridge; its ancient geology, as well as for its high country.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

Australia’s first inhabitants, the Aboriginal people, are believed to have migrated from some unknown point in Asia to Australia between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago.\u00a0While Captain James Cook is credited with Australia’s European discovery in 1770, a Portuguese possibly first sighted the country, while the Dutch are known to have explored the coastal regions in the 1640s.\u00a0The first European settlement of Australia was in January 1788, when the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip. Originally established as a penal colony, by the 1830s the number of free settlers was increasing. Transportation of convicts to the eastern colonies was abolished in 1852 and to the western colonies in 1868.<\/p>\n
