Australia is a tolerant, racially harmonious nation and its residents have a strong belief in equality and social justice.

The country is a veritable melting pot of people of different ages, nationalities and religions originating from over 150 countries throughout the world. At present, Australia has a population of 20.6 million people and almost one in four Australians was born overseas. Australians have a strong work ethic but they enjoy their leisure time too. The country’s temperate climate, beautiful beaches and diverse wilderness areas allow for a wide variety of leisure activities and holiday destinations.

Although Australia is known for its wide-open spaces, most of its residents live in urban areas along the eastern and southern seaboard. This focus on city living has helped develop a rich cultural landscape and Australia regularly receives international recognition for its contribution to music, theatre, literature and other artistic endeavors.

Australian’s love to eat! Their love of food combined with the cultural diversity of the population has resulted in a huge variety of different cuisine on offer and the capital cities and regional centers play host to a myriad of top quality restaurants to suit any taste and budget.
