Sometimes described as ‘The Sunburnt Country’ after a line in the poem ‘My Country’ by Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar, Australia certainly is sunburnt. However, popular as they are, there is more to this vast country than its fabulous beaches.
For those of us who like to escape winter, Australia is the place. You can explore tropical rain forests, go bush walking, fossick for opals and experience Aboriginal culture in the Outback. And if you need a city fix , that’s no problem. Fine food, great restaurants, fabulous shopping are the norm in places like Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.
