All about Australia

Australia is the perfect country to combine travel and study for students of all ages.

Our world-class cities are sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Our climate is warm and sunny almost all year round. We have a multi-cultural society that is tolerant and accepting of all races and religions. And, best of all, we’re a really friendly bunch.

Travelling around, you can experience everything from the vast Outback to our World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef; from surfing beaches to lush rainforests; from Sydney Harbour and the Opera House to historic pubs in quaint country towns.

But perhaps most importantly, our education system is truly world standard. Our universities are recognised internationally and our tertiary qualifications are accepted by employers and other institutions all over the world. 

"Australia represented the uncertainty and excitement of moving across the world where no one knew me and I knew no one."

Australia is a multicultural society where you can find almost any variety of food. In addition to restaurants in a variety of cuisines, many Australian chefs are renowned for 'fusion' cuisine which brings European cooking styles with Asian flavours. We are blessed with exotic fruit, a huge variety of fish and some of the best beef and lamb in the world. After the Germans, we have the highest per capita beer consumption in the world, including lager, bitter, and stout. Each Australian state have their own principal brewer.Â
