Adventure Holidays In Australia

Endless miles of unspoilt beaches, tropical rainforest, mountain ranges and vast tracts of desert make Australia a vast country of contrast. The world's sixth-largest country, much of its interior is flat, barren and sparsely populated. The bulk of the population lives on the narrow, fertile eastern coastal plain and on the southeastern coast. The continent-long Great Dividing Range runs north-south down the eastern seaboard, separating the coastal plain from the drier inland areas. The Great Barrier Reef lies 50-300km offshore and extends 2000km from Torres Strait to Gladstone .
