Best known cities
Arguably the best known cities are Sydney in New South Wales and Melbourne in Victoria. Add to this the national capital, Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory, midway between Sydney and Melbourne.
Australia’s cities, each one with its own individually distinctive character, are very much cosmopolitan centres, where people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, although still of largely United Kingdom and European backgrounds, have come to call home.
Beach, Bush, Barbecues
With most of the large cities situated along the coast, and with the beach and the
bush within easy reach, Australia boasts an outdoorsy lifestyle, and barbecues at
many open-
Iconic structures
What you may find instead when visiting Australia, especially if flying in to Sydney, are the iconic Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, miles of white sand beaches, a melting pot of many peoples, and a live, vibrant culture that stems from its multicultural identity.
Still, Australia is pretty much unknown in some parts of the world.
Awesome natural features
Inland lie the great Australian deserts, and perhaps the one inland city of note would be Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, right in the Red Centre of Australia and close to such awesome natural features as Uluru (Ayres Rock), the world’s largest rock, and the Valley of the Winds.

Grandeur and tragedy
Across the continent in Western Australia are the Kimberley Ranges, home of the world’s largest diamond producer. Along the coast is Broome, source of some of the finest South Sea pearls.

Land of such diversity
Australia, in fact, is a land of such diversity and a place of innumerable natural wonders you can be in the hot humid tropics one weekend and in the subzero temperatures of the Australian high country the next; you could be in the heart of cosmopolitan Sydney one day and be in an Aboriginal community the next.
This is a vast land whose moods and features change as you travel through it: from the citified urban structures to its many natural wonders such as the mystifying natural sculptures wrought by wind and rain and geological upheavals.
If you simply wish to lie on the beach and enjoy the sights, you can do it here. You can also find thrills and great adventures and be like Crocodile Dundee, if these are what you seek.
