Discovering Australia

Many travlers regard Australia with the same sort of exoticism that you might find in the Great Basin Desert of New Mexico or the supposedly 'happy-go-lucky' cigar leaf rollers of Cuba, but as it always is with travel, the traveler has to stick out his neck and realize that they absolutely nothing about other places until they have ventured forth and experienced it.

For some, the act of travelling to another country alone is enough to fill their sense of adventure, for others, seeing as much as you can while you are here is the stuff of the best memories.

In my book, however, the dust covered land with its strange features and even stranger plants and animals can only keep you company for so long. Meeting people, or going to places were people are likely to convene (and no, i don't mean communal public toilets) and have some revel in some non-work related pleasure. If you want to discover Australia completely, you must find a way to explore both its environment and the complex social climate which includes a vast population of people from all over the world. This is discovering Australia.
