SummaryThe Austral continent is divided into six States and two Territories.
Sydney, the capital of New South Wales is the oldest place where Europeans settled and the biggest Australian city. The bridge of Sydney, “Harbour Bridge” and its Opera are the symbols of the city.
In 1911, Canberra was chosen as the administrative capital of Australia, it is also a State called the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
Victoria is the smallest State of the continent but it has the densest population, Melbourne, the capital is considered as the “most English” of the Australian cities.
South Australia is famous for its wonderful landscapes, its wine and its opals, the capital is Adelaide.
Two millions people live in Western Australia, 70% of them in the capital: Perth.
There are only 200,000 inhabitants in Northern Territory, the capital is Darwin.
Although the majority of the population is from European origins, Australia is well-known as a multicultural nation. At the commencement, Australia was rather in favour of a controlled and filtered immigration, but just after World War II, the country had to open its borders to boost the economic development.
That’s how millions of immigrants coming from a hundred of different countries settled in Australia.
Today, this “melting-pot” is the first characteristic of the Australian culture and society.
Australia has many assets, the “Terra Incognita” is considered as dynamic and attractive for the rest of the world.
