Australia has come a long way from her British colonial days. Today she reflects the beauty & grace of a land mixed with an Aboriginal heritage, British ties with a strong American & Eurasian influence. Australia has emerged with an identity reflecting this mix of cultures & has added a relaxed splash of "Aussie" friendliness.

Discover the great diversity of one land: the wilderness & the urban centers; the snow, deserts, beaches & tropical oases; the ancient culture & modern bustling cities; a great tropical reef & a vast plateau; fine architecture alongside modern skyscrapers.
All this can be enjoyed in a land of natural beauty with a palette of warm oranges and golds, vivid reds, crystal greens & clear blues.
