| Australia is a country like no other. An island continent almost as large as the continental United States, with a population of just 20 million, or roughly that of New York State. A vast, ancient and breathtakingly beautiful land that is as unique as it is wonderful. In its modern, sophisticated cities you will find an abundance of international standard sporting facilities, restaurants, nightclubs and a rich cultural life. You’ll also find McDonald’s, Nike, and many other things that will remind you of home. But the real spirit of Australia can be found in the legendary Aussie pubs, Australian rules football, snags on the “barbie” – the outdoor grill, not the doll – lamingtons (chocolate-coconut cakes), Anzac biscuits (oatmeal cookies) and friendly, hospitable people with a great sense of humor.
