From waves to the wilderness, Australia is a land full of opposites of the extreme. With itʼs amazing coastlines that are but a moments drive to the hinterland and the stunning world famous Outback, it is no surprise that the land Down Under sits atop of most peopleʼs to-see lists!
The culture the locals live by is unique in more ways than one, but nothing beats their laid back nature and a good old Aussie yarn. The colloquial language they have established, their sporting legends, the actors that have been slowly taking over hollywood, their ability to mock their own politicians and of course Vegemite are all crucial parts of the renowned Australian pride and charm. The character Australia offers is a perfect setting for an overseas adventure, so soak up the sun and take advantage of the local hospitality and make some new ʻmatesʼ with a Letz Live placement!
The land of Aus is iconically well known for its deadly creatures (although, take it from a local; people rarely die...) and for housing what are frankly some of the cutest darn animals around, but it isnʼt just the wildlife that captures the imaginations of so many. The brilliant beaches that outlines this vast land are one of the major draws for tourists and Aussies alike. These world famous shores are arguably the best the world has to offer and paints one of Australiaʼs proudest pictures. The Great Barrier Reef which runs parallel to the north east coast of Queensland is considered quite rightfully one the the seven natural wonders of the world, and is one stop everyone should take the time to make.
Even though they are a fairly young nation, Australiaʼs history is believed to date back more that 50,000 (yes, thousand) years and is not only vast in terms of time, but also in the stories it holds.The Aboriginal people first encountered Europeans in the days of the convicts, but the criminals who were sent to Australia as punishment, ended up forming the basis of what now makes up the multicultural nation seen today. The thieves of Britain may not have had a say in moving to the humid tropics, but somewhat ironically, today they are among the many nationalities who would give an arm and a leg to call Australia home.
