According to the latest United Nations Human Development Index (2003),
which ranks countries on quality of life, Australia is the fourth best
country in the world in which to live, behind Norway, Sweden and Iceland.
Taken as a whole, Australia offers a diverse and unique landscape with
a strong indigenous influence. From the former penal colony of Tasmania
with its isolation and majestic wilderness, to the Victorian snowfields,
cosmopolitan Melbourne, the sophistication of Sydney with its incomparable
harbour and Opera House, and the world's largest monolith - the spiritual
and mystical "Uluru" (Ayers Rock).

Brisbane is less than a day away and closer than you think! It takes
about as long to fly to Rome from the west coast of the United States
as it does to Brisbane. Leave the west coast at night and you arrive in
Brisbane in the morning ready to begin your Australian experience. |
