Bronzed Aussies, kangaroos, koala bears, Ayers Rock, the Great Barrier Reef, the wines of Barossa Valley, the beauty of Fraser Island, Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and Outback pubs, friendly locals, sizzling barbecues and dangerous creatures are some of Australia’s trademarks. The only country to also be a continent, Australia’s biggest attraction is its vast natural beauty and its diverse population. To get under the skin of Australia, read, ‘Songlines’, by Bruce Chatwin, watch, ‘The Castle’ and listen to ‘Pub With No Beer’ by Slim Dusty.
