Australia

There is a lot of stereotypes about Australia being a huge island full of kangaroos and reptiles. However, even though a small part of this is true, there is a much wider variety of animals than expected from most people.
European settlers came upon Australia and loved it due to gold rushes and agricultural quality. Australia is home to 23 million people due to migration from over 185 countries.
Australia started becoming civilized in the mid 19th century. Adding government and democracy to the continent.

But before the arrival of Europeans, there already was human life in what is now known as Australia. The Natives were there about 65,000 years ago with a population of about 750.000.

Description of The People

Australian people are also called Aussies for short. Most Aussies are descendants of British people. That is why they have similar accents. But there are still multiple backgrounds as some Aussies 2.4 million to be exact have Asian background.
There can not be an exact culture description because Australia is very diverse when it comes to races, religion, and languages.



Australia is an island located between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific ocean. It is split up into 5 areas western Australia, Northern Territory, Southern Australia, New south Wales, and Queensland.
Australia has large deserts and beaches. It also has tropical forest, and temperate forests. More geographical features include the Tasmania and the alps. Australia also has large snow covered mountains.



Hotels can also be cheap or very expensive depending on whether you are planning a high or low end trip. A trip to Australia would cost a little over $850 for a low end trip and $1000 for a high end trip.
You can choose to go by boat or by airplane. The boat would take longer and could be more costly than a flight would be. http://www.tripadvisor.com/SmartDeals-g255055-Australia-Hotel-Deals.html Australia has a few hotels you can choose from with some being low and some being high priced.
