Australians have a reputation for being laid back and friendly and what's more it is actually true.People are much more likely to give you time of day in Australian cities compared with other cities around the world.There's also a comparatively low crime rate.

Great place to travel

Australia is such a vast countries that you can spend all your holidays exploring it.Domestic travel has it all from rainforests,beaches,to ski-resorts and stunning ancient landscapes.

Australia is extremely amazing as you'll learn later on, but before heading further we have to mention how big the country really is.It is the 6th largest country in the world,has the world's 3rd largest ocean territory,spnning three oceans and is the only nation-continent of 20 million people in the world.If you are wondering how big this really is,just know the country is as wide as the distance between London and Moscow.

While wildlife is pretty diverse on all continents,Australia features ssome of the flavor-ristic and exotic animals on the planet ranging from the cutest to the most frightening.Just a few of them are the kangaroo, koala, echidna, the wombat, the paltypus, the dingo, and the wallaby.While difficult to spot in the wild,you can safely enjoy these animals in almost every zoo in the country

The first police force of Australia was a group of the most well-behaved convicts,which was formed by Governor Arthur Philipin 1789.The country also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, far lower than in the US and the UK.

Every country has it oddballs, but people in Australia manage to come up with agruably the most crazy and out-of-the-box ideas in the world.What do you do when you are unhappy with your government,protest?.People in Australia didn't do so.Instead in 1982,200 unstaisfiedcitizens tried to start an offshoot colony in Paraguay that was to be called New Australia.Furthermore,the country holds the record for the longest mail run thank to postan Barry.
