Australia Travel Guide

Introduction

It's true. Australia is out in the middle of nowhere; it's a long flight and there are lots deadly animals and insects. Please don't let this stop you. It's well worth the travel time, expenses, and health risks associated with animals (which are extremely minimal). The people are really friendly, the beaches are beautiful, the cities are clean and lively, and the weather is predominantly gorgeous. Plus, the Southern Hemisphere location makes for a great winter-time escapes – for all those residing in the Northern Hemisphere. Australia's mammoth size also means there are cities with ideal climates all year round. Victoria and South Australia are perfect summer (Australian) destinations, while the far north peaks in the winter.
