Australia is a young state, marked by a little over two centuries of European presence, but it is also the land of the world's oldest culture, that of the Aboriginal people. It is a modern country, with American-style cities like Sydney or Melbourne (the two most visited cities), but also a virgin hinterland, the Outback, where the roads are tracks and where the pace of life has remained close to that of the first settlers.

A unique fauna and flora :
Thanks to its isolation over millions of years, Australia has developed an exceptional fauna and flora, such as kangaroo and koala or gumtree and tree ferns. These are just a few of the many sights you will discover on site. It is relatively easy to cross animals and you will be captivated by the beauty and scents of the many plants and flowers unknown in our latitudes.
