Australia with its six states and two territories, is a country of contrasts - from the cities on the coast, the untamed tropical rainforests, the golden beaches, the Great Barrier Reef of
Queensland, the lush fern gullies of Victoria, the peaks of Tasmania to desert towns in the outback with their stunning formations like Uluru (Ayers Rock) and world-heritage parks like Kakadu. The
aboriginals are the world's oldest civilization and because of Australia's isolation, many different forms of plants and animals developed here that are not seen elsewhere in the world. Those who
go "down under" are captivated by the country, the people, the experiences and the contrasts. Click on the buttons above or the States and Territories button to learn about each of these
regions within Australia.
