Australia is one of the Worlds must see destinations. Australia is both the world’s smallest continent and the world’s largest island, the island of Tasmania, and numerous other islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Australia is the only place that is simultaneously considered a continent, a country and an island. Although most of Australia is semi-arid or desert, it includes a diverse range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests, and is recognised as a megadiverse country.
