Some of the most popular tourist attractions in Australia include FraserIsland, SydneyHarborBridge, Great Barrier Reef, Scenic World, Kakadu National Park, Sydney Opera House, Port Arthur and National Gallery of Australia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sydney is not only Australia&#8217;s one of the oldest cities, but also the economic powerhouse and a city that many considers as representative of the whole nation. Melbourne, the second largest city of Australia, is a beautiful city decorated with tree-lined avenues, parks and chic buildings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Location<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Australia\u2019s dramatic outback, wilderness areas, mountain ranges and waterways combine to make it a unique destination with an exciting edge. Australia is renowned as one of the world\u2019s premier surfing destinations. Its 37,000km coastline is blessed with beach, reef and point breaks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Within the Australia Aps lies more than a million and a half hectares of rocky landscape where a chain of national parks, protected areas and alpine environments provide a habitat for hundreds of species of plant and animal life found nowhere else on the continent. The raw majesty of Australia&#8217;s outback, the awesome beauty of its marine environment, the breathtaking splendor of its forests and the continent&#8217;s unique wildlife provide fertile terrain for anyone who revels in the call of the wild.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>People<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Australia is very friendly and welcoming country and the people often go out of their way to help others. People wear casual and relaxed attire, formal clothes are the exception rather than the rule, even at the opera.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Events<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From major sporting events to regional festivals, the Australian events calendar is as colorful as it is diverse. December is the \u2018official\u2019 start of the Australian summer and it\u2019s also the start of festival season, when Aussies kick off their shoes, kick up their heels and toe-tap their way through a line-up of local and international acts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Weather<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The climate of Australia varies widely like the largest part of the country is desert or semi-arid, 40 per cent of the landmass is covered by sand dunes. Only the south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate and moderately fertile soil. The northern part of the country has a tropical climate, varied between tropical rainforests, grasslands, part desert. Rainfall is highly variable and occasionally a dust storm will blanket a region or even several states.<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none;
