Beaches in Australia

Beaches in Australia are amongst the best and most prolific in the world, in fact, there are over 7,000 of them. Beach Holidays have always been one of the great Aussie traditions and nothing is nicer on a hot summers day than doing a bit sunbathing on an uncrowded white sandy beach, having a picnic or going for a refreshing dip in the cool clean Surf.
You should always take care though to swim at a patrolled beach and put on plenty of blockout as Australia has lots of Sunshine.

A Few Interesting Facts About Australia

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world and is roughly the same size as the 48 USA mainland states. Compared with Europe it is approximately half as big again. Because of it’s vastness, Australia has the lowest population density in the world - only about two people per square kilometer.

The Australian Climate

The Climate ranges from Wet Tropics in the North to Alpine in the more elevated area of Tasmania, Victoria and NSW. Unlike other countries, when Australians decide to have a holiday at the beach or a Bar-B-Q, the weather is hardly a consideration. As an example, Brisbane with the average yearly sunshine being 265 days and a maximum average yearly temperature of 25.2 Celsius with a minimum of 15.7 Celsius, it not hard to see why.

Driving in most of Australia is relatively easy with good roads. If you intend to drive in remote areas get advice from local guides as it can be very hazardous. The road system is uniform throughout with vehicles driving on the left hand side of the road. All capitol cites are connected by rail but there are no VFTs as you would find in Europe or Japan.
