About Australia
Australia is the world’s sixth-largest country and is both a continent and a nation. Known for its vast Outback, stunning coastline and unique wildlife, it is home to natural landmarks such as the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru. Major cities including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane play an important role in the country’s culture, economy and sporting life.
With a history shaped by Indigenous heritage stretching back more than 60,000 years and later British settlement from 1788, Australia has developed a distinct national identity. Today it is famous for its sporting achievements, diverse landscapes, distinctive animals such as kangaroos and koalas, and its influence in areas ranging from film and music to science and exploration.
