Australia
The only country that has a whole continent to itself, Australia is a major tourist destination. World-famous for its natural wonders and wide-open spaces (beaches, deserts, and 'the Outback'), Australia is ironically one of the world's most highly urbanized countries and is well known for its cosmopolitan cities, such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. If you're interested in the miracles of the water-world, don't miss the Great Barrier Reef. The Wet Tropics of Queensland comprise dense rainforests and foaming waterfalls. Rare species of animals can be seen in the famous Kakadu National Park as well as ancient aboriginal art.

Hobart
Hobart is Australia's city on the edge of the world, packed with world class art, waterfront restaurants and mountains with breathtaking views. Founded in 1803, it is a beautiful city, stretching out along either shore of the Derwent River as it opens to meet the Tasman Sea. Hobart has a rich and diverse culture and offers many attractions of historic and cultural interest. Browse the markets and art galleries along the waterfront, the cosmopolitan dining of North Hobart, and the historic charm of Battery Point. The western shore is dominated by Mt Wellington, with its imposing summit cliffs known as the Organ Pipes. Hobart is also a good base from which to explore the rest of the island. Hobart is also internationally famous among the yachting community as the finish of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
