Officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, its 7,686,850 square kilometers landmass is covered with endless miles of flawless beaches, amazing mountain ranges, tropical rainforest with opposing vast deserts, which allows you to experience a vacation with distinction!   With an immense contrast in climate, Australia is definitely a fabulous holiday destination all year round, where you can experience its sunny beaches from December and also go winter-skiing in the Australian Alps in June.    The attractions in Australia include the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef extending over 2,000 kilometers, which lies a short distance off the northeast coast. It also holds the world's largest monolith, Mount Augustus, located in Western Australia.   Australia is blessed with a vast cultural diversity, and embraced with fine arts and craft, especially with the native Aboriginal artworks. Moreover having opera first made prominent by renowned diva Dame Joan Sutherland, today there are symphony orchestras in each capital city and a national opera company, with its famous trademark, the Sydney Opera House.   However, being the 6th largest country in the world, Australia has the lowest population density in comparison to others - with only 'two people' per square kilometer!
