Everyone knows the beaches in Australia are great

Ningaloo Reef Western Australia

How great you ask?

Twelve Apostles Great Ocean Road

Well.. this great.

Then there is the landscape…

Which honestly is sometimes just magical.

No, you are not mistaken, that is in fact a pink lake.

Then of course there are the cities

Melbourne

From the iconic landmarks

To the more unsung heroes of Australian architecture.

St Pauls Cathedral, Melbourne

Animal lovers will find plenty to entertain them in Australia

And while the kangaroo may be the best-known Australian animal…

The lesser-known quokka is really the best.

Just make sure you steer clear of any snakes and spiders!

All this wildlife makes for some truly great road signs…

In particular the warning to look out for a sad koala…

Although it seems that not every Australian takes these seriously.

Either that, or you need to beware of dragons…

The red desert outback is the image everyone has of the Australian landscape

But really the country is far more diverse than that

World Heritage Cradle Mountain, Lake St. Clair National Park, Tasmania

With lush landscapes…

Tropical North Queensland

And spectacular sunsets.

So get on out there and say “G’day” Down Under!
