My Travel Resolution.
Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Australia is located in the southern hemisphere and is also one of the seven continents. Australia has a very diverse landscape and is known for having mesmerizing natural beauty. Australia is massive in size and is the sixth-largest country by area and though much of the area is still uninhabited, but it gives for unexplored and untouched beauty.

Australia is so big that it is home to 10,000 beaches, over 500 national and wildlife parks, and numerous islands that provide breathtaking and enthralling views. The many reasons to visit Australia are:

Fraser Island is the largest sand island and is probably the only place that has a sandy highway on which you can drive an all-wheel 4x4.

One of the most iconic places to visit in Australia is none other than the Great Barrier Reef, and the reef itself is bigger than the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Holland combined. This is a simply stunning place to be and a thrilling place for water sports and activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling.

The Whitehaven Beach in Whitsunday Island is another remarkable place, and it has got the purest and white sand in the world.

The cities of Melbourne and Sydney are ranked as the most livable and beautiful cities to live and has an elegant mix of mature and modern-day art and engineering.

Cape Tribulation is a massive rainforest that meets the Great Barrier Reef.

There are spectacular waterfalls, gorges and swimming pools in Northern Territory.

Apart from a distinctive natural landscape, Australia has also the most unique and diverse wildlife with animals which are only found in this region and no other place in the world. The country is home to a wide variety of animals, birds and reptiles. The most famous animals of Australia are Kangaroo, Koala bears, platypus, dingo, wallaby, emu, inland Taipan, Crocodiles, Tasmanian devil, Wombat, The Sugar Glider, and echidna.

Both the Kangaroos and Koala bears are a symbol of Australia and only native to the country as they are not found anywhere else in the world, particularly the Kangaroos. The Kangaroo population is around 50 million, and the animal has a distinctive feature with large hind legs, and small front legs and females have a pouch for carrying the young Kangaroo baby.

Koala is herbivore animals that are mostly found in the coastal and eastern parts of the country including Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales. Although the Koala is called a Koala bear this small animal does not belong to the bear family but is a marsupial, and its closest relative is a wombat.

The koalas are grey and chocolate brown, having a large head and fluffy ears. Koalas have a stark resemblance to the stuffed teddy bears that nearly every kid has in his childhood, and it is also the reason why the animal is so loved not only by residents but thousands of people who come to visit Australia.
