If you were the strongest person in the galaxy and could pick up the island continent (provided you had enormous hands and were actually a giant), you could snugly fit Australia into mainland USA. The world\u2019s largest cattle station is in Australia, and it\u2019s bigger than Israel. The world\u2019s largest sand island \u2013 <a href=\"\/search?keyword=fraser%20island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fraser Island<\/a> \u2013 is in Australia. And Australia has more \u2018big\u2019 things \u2013 the Big Pineapple, the Big Merino, the Big Banana \u2013 than anywhere else on earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, Australia has a LOT going for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also an extremely diverse environment. Poet Dorothea Mackellar wasn\u2019t wrong when she described Australia as \u2018a land of sweeping plains, of ragged mountain ranges, of drought and flooding rains\u2019 in her famous 1908 poem <em>My Country<\/em>. There\u2019s \u2018stark white ring-barked forest\u2019 (here\u2019s looking at you, <a href=\"\/australia\/kimberley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kimberley<\/a>), \u2018sapphire-misted mountains\u2019 (cheers, <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"\/australia\/tasmania\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tasmania<\/a>), and \u2018the hot gold hush of noon\u2019 (just about everywhere on a 40-degree day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many ways, travelling in Australia is akin to travelling to more than one part of the world \u2013 say, the <a href=\"\/middle-east\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middle East<\/a>, <a href=\"\/europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europe<\/a>, the <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"\/united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United States<\/a> \u2013 at once. So rather than umming and ahhing about your next holiday to one or two countries, here\u2019s how you can reap the rewards of <em>multiple<\/em> countries by visiting just one: Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
