Australia has a rich history and culture with a delightful blend of Western, Eastern and Aboriginal influences. Each of these significant influences comes together to deliver a celebrated diversity and distinctive way of life unmatched elsewhere in the world.  During your Australian studies it will be impossible to resist the urge to steal away and explore cosmopolitan cities, rain forests, villages, the rough and tumble Outback, and some of the most diverse landscapes found anywhere on the planet. Australia is perhaps the only place in the world where you can enjoy exquisite international dining, explore open air markets, lounge on the beach, pet a kangaroo and swim in a crocodile’s home all in the same day.
