In the top countries category, Australia was placed fourth, behind India, Italy and Thailand and the 10th best island destination was given to the Great Barrier Reef. Last year, travelers were impressed by Sydney's clean and friendly feel as well as its restaurants, ranking it third in that survey. "I'm happy that our Conde Nast Traveller readers have voted for Sydney as their favorite overseas city," editor Kim Mitchell said.

History

Australia is the only country that is also a continent. Its original inhabitants, the Indigenous Australians, have made their home here for tens of thousands of years; their complex social systems and rich culture reflect their deep connection with the land. Europeans first made contact in 1606, when a Dutch explorer named Willem Janszoon charted the west coast of Queensland. In 1788, with the arrival of a British ship filled with convicts sentenced to hard labor, Australia achieved its well-known status as a penal colonyHowever, not all of the Europeans who made their way to the Australian colonies were convicts; hundreds of thousands of immigrants seeking new opportunities in sheep ranching, gold mining, and farming flocked to the continent in the 1800s.In 1901, the people of Australia formed a Commonwealth, a federation of six states under a single constitution. The government was founded on the principals of unity, harmony, equality and human rights for which the country is still known today.

 

Nature

As an island nation, Australia's rich ecosystem is like no other in the world. With over 1 million native species, most of the birds, fish, plants, and animals living here are unique to the continent. Visitors can experience the amazing biodiversity the country has to offer: views of koalas, kangaroos, and Tasmanian Devils in their natural habitat, the stunning variety of marine life that inhabits the Great Barrier Reef, and the iconic Ayers Rock provide images that will never be forgotten.
