Australia is a unique country that offers both city living and country lifestyle options.

The sixth largest country in the world, Australia is divided into 7 states and territories. Each state or territory has a capital city with modern conveniences.

The population of Australia is about 20.4 million people and we have one of the lowest rates of population density (people per square metre) in the world.

Australia is an English-speaking nation, and the most commonly spoken languages (other than English) are Italian, Greek, Cantonese, Arabic, Vietnamese and Mandarin.

Untouched natural landscape is a major feature of each state in Australia, ranging from beautiful beaches with endless blue sky, pristine natural rain forest, rugged rock formations and of course, the red-dirt desert.

Australians are recognized world-wide for their relaxed, tolerant, easy-going attitudes. It is easy to see why - in Australia you can find the time for a swim at the beach, meet up with friends or take a leisurely nature walk before or after work.

The culture and lifestyle in Australia can vary, depending on which region you live in.

City centres in Australia are developed with modern infrasructure including schools, shops, hospitals, public transport and telecommunications. City living in Australia is vibrant and cosmopolitan, and each different city centre has unique attractions.
