We celebrate the day Captain Cook 'discovered' Australia - the Portuguese and Dutch were not interested in colonizing the continent. Aboriginals have been here for at least 40 thousand years, and the Chinese and Southeast Asian peoples have regularly visited northern Australia in their fishing boats to get fresh drinking water and medicinal herbs. The Dingo wild dog of Australia actually came from Asia. Nonetheless, Australia has unique Flora and Fauna.
Australia is the land of sun, sand, surf - and the Prawn! Australians love sea food. Though a shrimp is just that to those in other countries, to us it is a prawn. Furthermore, a lobster also has an identity problem. It is a crayfish to us. Waltzing Matilda is not taking a "sheila" to the local dance: a matilda is a sack containing one's essentials which is tied to a stick. The stick is carried on the shoulder by a "swagman" as he travels across the county - or so it was a century ago!
Australia has good amenities and interesting places to visit. From major cities with restaurants, entertainment venues and casinos to the great outback where the culture of Australia truly lies. Most Australians live in coastal regions in cities, though they look to the bush for the real Australian heritage: the horsemen of the Blue Mountains wrote about by Paterson in his poems, the dog on his tuckerbox on the road to gundagai, the gold diggers, stockmen, sheepshearers, railway builders and graziers.
The Sunshine Coast in Queensland stretches from Noosa to Caloundra. Noosa is the center for scuba diving and water sports. Maroochydore, near Caloundra, is an excellent spot for game fishing. The coast comprises more than 100 kilometers of beaches. Inland there is the Glass House Mountains, Blackall Range, Noosa Hinterland and the Mary Valley. Take a quiet rainforest walk, a round of golf or a romantic dinner. It is the perfect mix of coast and country and the ideal place to relax and unwind.
The Gold Coast is a holiday paradise. It is the favorite holiday destination for oversees visitors to Australia, because it has everything a tourist would want. Miles of surf beach, lush green rainforest, world-class golfing greens and world-famous theme parks. With every kind of accommodation from exclusive 5-star hotels to sunny beachside apartments. It has a wonderful beach with apartments right on the seafront. Restaurants and shopping centers are close at hand.
Consider investing in Australian property if you live overseas. The Major cities are thriving modern communities with established social structure, thriving nightlife and leisure activities. Apartments and quality housing in the major cities such as Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide Perth and Darwin are in high demand by prospective renters so there is good return on investment. If you are planning to live and work in Australia contact the Australian Immigration and Visa Services.
Australiana refers to things that are seen to be distinctly Australian. Billy Tea, for example, is made in a can over an open fire by cattle drovers. Before the tea is removed from the fire green gumleaves are added to the infusion for more flavor. Australians have always loved beer. Brewers Yeast a byproduct from the brewing process is made into a tasty spread called Vegemite. Damper is made by mixing Flour with baking powder , salt and water, placed in a pan and cooked over a fire.
Australia Zoo was established by The Crocodile Hunter's Father. It, is an interesting attraction. Crocodiles, and native Australian animals are the main attractions. Steve Irwin's family is introducing animals from other parts of the world. Several Elephants are now spending their 'retirement' years at Australia Zoo. The zoo also has camels on show. The original camels were brought to Australia by Afghanis over a century ago. Terri and Bindi Irwin continue to put on entertainment at the zoo.
Give an Australian a piece of wire and a pair of pliers and, it is said, he will invent something. Though it may be contentious that barbed wire was actually first developed in Australia, it does tend to indicate the spirit of a people who had to cope with the materials at hand. Today, however, technological development is occurring worldwide. Most people know what is going on in the world because of the rapid improvement in communications technology.

We watch animals in our homes, and observe them in the wild. It's always wise to have a camera handy to snap those funny moments when animals seem to be so human. Sometimes they seem to really know what they are doing. Who is having the last laugh - animals or us humans? The odd thing is animals don't always behave as expected. It is not unusual to see a wild "ferocious" animal befriend an animal that it would generally prey upon. Whatever the situation let us see the funny side of animal moments.

Paul McGuinness and Hudson Fysh began by scouting out a route and air strips for the 1919 London-to-Sydney Great Air Race. This, they found, was a difficult exercise. Travelling by Model T Ford through the bush, they completed their task, leaving supplies along the way for competitors. The experience convinced them that an airline service was needed for outback settlements, transporting mail, passengers and freight.
A search for financial support ensued. Wealthy grazier Fergus McMaster organised financed. He became chairman of the new company when it was formed on 19th August 1920. Directors met on 10th February 1921. Two WWII surplus biplanes comprised the fleet. With airmail services being secured between Charleville and Cloncurry in 1922, larger aircraft were purchased. A four-passenger DH50 was put into service in 1924. Route coverage steadily expanded and Qantas opened the Brisbane Flying School in 1927. The company signed a contract to provide a Flying Doctor service in 1928. A year later Qantas moved its headquarters from Longreach to Brisbane. By then, it had carried 10,400 passengers travelling 1.6 million kilometers. A partnership between Qantas and Britain's Empire Airways followed in 1931, and expansion of airmail services continued.

Phenomenal growth occurred with the introduction of the new Jumbo jets, 747-238Bs, in 1971. Their wide bodies allowed more room for passengers, so cuts to fairs were possible. The world's first business class began in 1979. More powerfull Boeing 747-438s were brought into service in 1987. a non-stop flight from London to Sydney eventuated in 1989.
Qantas bought Australian Airlines in 1992. Then Qantas was privatised. The company was now a major player, having 36 jet aircraft and 37 smaller airplanes on regional routes. A partnership was formed with British airways which bought a 25 percent share of Qantas.
The Qantas Founders Outback Museum was opened in 2002. By 2004 the new jetstar service was launched and in 2006 the subidiary Australian Airlines ceased operations.
Qantas is now an established, successful business, known world-wide for its excellent service and safe flying record.
