Australia

Both a continent and a country, Australia is part of both Oceania and Australasia. Located in the Southern hemisphere, it is dissected by the Tropic of Cancer line. Therefore, it includes both tropical and subtropical areas.

Austalia is bordered by both the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Well-known for some of its unusual animals, there is much more to Australia than just wildlife. We have visited many of the key cities, driven a few road trips, and cruised over the top of the country.

Key cities we have visited include Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairnes, Darwin, and Perth. Plus, there is plenty more.
