Australia Travel Tours

However, the Northern lush green area with all its rainforests grasslands and partly desert, experiences an essentially tropical climate.

Australia has a diverse terrain, from second largest monolith of the world (located in Uluru, central Australia) to the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef off the north eastern shore. The wonders of exotic Australian geography seem endless. Due to its location in the middle of a tectonic plate it might not suffer volcanic activity but minor earthquakes sometimes do rock the land. The landscape encompasses low plateaus, deserts, rangelands, Australian Alps and the fertile plains of south. While the lowest altitude point is Lake Eyre at -15m, the highest elevation is that of Mount Kosciuszko at 2228m. However, the Australian Alps have no permanent ice fields or glaciers.

The unique geography of Australia makes it very rich in flora and fauna with most of them being native only to the continent. Not only does it have the longest lasting continual cultural history but also the longest and most diverse biotic history.
