Australia InformationAustralia is both the world's smallest continent and the only country that has a whole continent to itself. Famed for its natural wonders and wide open spaces (beaches, deserts and "the bush" or "the Outback"), Australia is ironically one of the world's most highly urbanised countries and is well known for the cosmopolitan attractions of its cities, such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Australian capital city Canberra.
The continent of Australia is enormous, and theres only one way to see it properly by campervan! The cities are cosmopolitan and walkable, the rest is untamed and takes miles and months to see.
The continent of Australia was apparently first settled more than 40,000 years ago with successive waves of immigration of Aboriginal peoples from south and south-east Asia. Why not check the price for Car Hire Australia today. With rising sea levels, Australia became largely isolated from the rest of the world and the Aboriginal tribes developed a variety of cultures, based on close kinship, hunting, gathering and well-adapted to the range of environments found around the continent.
