Australia

“God Bless America. God Save The Queen. God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia.” – Russell Crowe

Visions of the outback, sunburnt everything, blue skies, and the constant but lingering thought that something lethal may be hiding in your shoe. These are things I thought defined Australia until I came here and saw a place of contrasts: cosmopolitan cities teeming with culture and the vivid expanse of the outdoors. The number of possible things you could do here is overwhelming: live music, funky museum exhibits, spotting strange animals found nowhere else…whatever your heart desires, I’m sure Australia has it.
