Australia is truly a unique and diverse country in every way – in culture, population, climate, geography, and history.
Home to roughly 22.7 million people mostly living along the coastal region of Australia from Adelaide to Cairns, with a small concentration around Perth, Western Australia and with a quarter of its population having on immigration to Australia and born overseas, the Aussies and its widely diverse migrants along with thousands of visitors and skilled workers enjoys a temperate weather for most of the year, with Australia’s northern states typically warm all the time while its southern states experiencing cool winters but rarely sub-zero temperatures.
During the winter months, there are snow falls on the higher mountains, enabling the thousands of tourists on tourist visa to Australia to ski in southern New South Wales, Victorian ski resorts, as well as the smaller resorts in Australia’s island state, Tasmania.
A land of contrasting landscape, Australia is well known for its more than 10,000 beaches, which is more than in any other country in the world and have laid claim to its laid-back beach culture, as well as its iconic Australian bush culture which is uniquely Australian and very different to the European landscapes familiar to many new immigrants as elements of bush culture have been absorbed into mainstream Australian life through music, pop songs, clothing, slang, arts and architecture.
Boasting of widely diverse coastal landscape ranging from broad sandy beaches to rocky cliffs and mangrove swamps, Australia is blessed with a coastline that stretches over 47,000 km, including the Australian mainland and all the coastal islands and where three of the world’s great ocean’s meet: the Pacific, Indian and Southern oceans.
The beach has long occupied a special place in the Australian identity as it is where the Aussies and its migrants and tourists on visitor visa to Australia from all over the world meet, mix and live.
Oz have also been wowing its many visitors on tourist visa for Australia of its hot, dry and sparsely populated open spaces and expansive skies of the Outback, which is home to its iconic Uluru, or Ayers Rock and the Katherine Gorge, Alice Springs, the Nullabor, the Kimberleys, Kakadu, Arnhem Land and the Olgas and its many varied wildlife including kangaroos, dingoes, camels, brumbies, snakes, geckos, birds, and a wide variety of hardy plant life.
The Outback had been one of the favored destinations of those backpackers on Australian working holiday visa seeking adventure and part-time work in Australia.
Australia is also currently home to 16 established natural World Heritage Sites with the colorful underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef as its most famous icon.
Aside from its breathtaking landscape and seascape, Australia is also endeared to many as a country destination for those seeking career and personal development.
With its current skills shortage driven by its booming resource and energy industries, Australia is encouraging Australian migration of both skilled and unskilled migrant workers to apply for work visa in Australia and apply for work in Oz.
Australia’s tourism and hospitality, aged care, engineering, IT and construction sectors continue to struggle with damaging skill shortages, forcing some employers to look for overseas migrant workers on visas to Australia to fill the gaps.
