Where other land masses and sovereign lands are classified as either continent, island, or country, Australia is considered all three. This truly unique land is home to some of the world's most exotic animals and flora. The country is roughly the size of the USA in land mass but with only 1/15 of the population. Australia has a predominantly urban culture with the vast majority of its citizens (upwards of 80%) living in 6 or 7 major cities. The country is incredibly diverse, offering mountains, deserts, ocean, lakes, rainforests and of course, the famed Outback. We recommend staying beyond your Global Experiences' program to experience some of what this truly unique country on the bottom half of the earth has to offer.
