With settlers first evolving over 40,000 years prior to European explorers hit the shores of Australia in the 1600’s.

The indigenous race known as the Aborigines live in tribes and live off the land, owing to a culture based on a close spiritual relationship with nature and ancient hunter gatherer instincts. This is evident when you visit iconic areas such as Ayers Rock (Alice Springs) and the Three Sisters (Sydney), although open to the public these attractions are deeply rooted in the Aboriginal culture and Ayers Rock in particular is extremely sacred.

Although the first expedition to discover Australia was in fact the Dutch colonials whom had already built an Empire in parts of South East Asia, the most recognised discovery of Australia is by Captain James Cook in 1770 and claimed it New South Wales (now a large state in Australia) for the expansion of the British Colonial Empire. Following this the first of the British settlers came in 1788, thus beginning the building of cities and driving the Aborigines further inland. The British initial tried to convert them to a westernised way of living but they rebelled.

Australia’s multicultural population is largely westernized with some Asian dwellers are now 3rd or 4th generation and have grown up to be ‘Australians’. The cities, like all major international cities, cater for the variety of cultures and tastes by providing an extensive choice of cuisine, art and a wide choice of entertainment.

All about Australian climate

The climate of Australia is significantly influenced by ocean currents, including the Indian Ocean Dipole and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which is correlated with periodic drought, and the seasonal tropical low pressure system that produces cyclones in northern Australia. These factors induce rainfall to vary markedly from year to year.

Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical predominantly summer rainfall (monsoon) climate. Just under three quarters of Australia lies within a desert or semi-arid zone. The southwest corner of the country has a Mediterranean climate. Much of the southeast including Tasmania is temperate.
