The Australian Capital Territory ( ACT) was established in 1911 to create a capital for the newly federated country of Australia.  Some 2330 square kilometres (900 square miles) was set aside, 53 per cent of which today remains nature park or reserve.
 
Canberra, the urban centre of the ACT, is a thriving modern city of 325,000 people with stylish restaurants, hip bars, boutique shopping, fun for the kids and a busy calendar of events and festivals.
 
The surrounding rural areas and stretches of natural bushland are home to charming rural townships such as Tharwa and Hall, award-winning wineries, and stunning nature parks.
 
Just 45 minutes drive from the city is Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve which offers walking trails, ranger-guided activities, Australian animals in their natural habitat, delightful wildflowers during spring and rich Indigenous and pioneer heritage.
 
Namadgi National Park, also 45 minutes´ drive from the city at the northern end of the Australian Alps, is perfect for a picnic or bushwalk on the numerous marked trails, or to experience native flora and fauna and enjoy spectacular wildflowers in spring. The Indigenous rock art and Aboriginal shelters are easily accessible. Camping is possible in pleasant bushland settings with fishing and horse riding permitted in designated areas.

In 1770 Captain James Cook sailed into what is now called Botany Bay. Cook later claimed a section of Australia's East Coast for Great Britain under the name of New South Wales. The colony became a state in 1901 after Australia was officially declared a nation.

The original inhabitants of NSW, the Aboriginal peoples, have lived in the area for more than 45,000 years and many reminders of this period still exists today. In Sydney and the surrounding regions alone there are more than 2,000 Aboriginal rock engraving sites and many of Sydney's suburbs have Aboriginal names such as Woolloomooloo, Parramatta and Yagoona.

The national parks, state conservation areas and marine parks of NSW are home to a vast array of exotic birds, animals and plant life including many threatened and endangered species.

Australia's highest mountain, Mount Kosciusko, towers 2,228 metres above the snowcapped ski fields in the southern alps of NSW while Australia's longest river, the Darling River, flows 2, 740km from northern NSW to join with the Murray River near the Victorian border in the state's south-west.

Australia's Outback Northern Territory is bordered by Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.

Blessed with an abundance of natural environments the NT is famous for its spectacular wildlife.

This is an environment that ebbs and flows with the seasons, of contrast and colour, where change is the only constant. Of awe inspiring iconic wonders - the World Heritage National Parks of Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta (Ayers Rock). Of flora and fauna as diverse as desert blooms are to lotus lilies and the fearsome saltwater crocodile is to the Brolga, the elegant dancing bird that is our emblem.

Our indigenous culture, the Aboriginal people, hold a deeply spiritual connection to the land that dates back tens of thousands of years, yet can still be shared in the present day - through commercial art galleries, a walk in the desert in search of bush tucker, a visit to the ancient rock art sites, community events or touring that involves a story-telling session.

Australia's Outback Northern Territory is renowned for its colourful characters. The type you'd meet at one of our legendary outback pubs, cattle stations or country towns. Uncomplicated, larger than life, and only too willing to share a yarn or two. It's hard not to fall in love with our down to earth attitude.

QUEENSLAND covers the whole of the north-eastern part of the continent and is the second largest state in Australia.

In the seventies Queensland was a real Mecca for hippies who came here from all over to escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life and commune with nature. Today the area attracts a new generation of rebels and ecologists. It is no real surprise as Queensland enjoys a lot of sun, clear blue skies, crystal clear oceans and some of the most beautiful, endless white beaches in the world. Its tropical islands and dense humid rain forest provide perfect conditions for both those looking for total relaxation or something more active.

There is certainly something for everyone in Queensland: the neon lights of Surfers Paradise, deserted beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, island resorts, forest paths, wide open spaces and national parks.

Not without reason, Queensland is known in Australia for its clever residents. Every year over 50,000 students from more than a hundred different countries (including Poland) come here to study. It is the only place in the world where students can go diving along the Great Barrier Reef after finishing their lessons. They can also use the occasion to do some research while visiting the state´s tropical forests, look for dinosaur fossils or, as part of their studies, become more familiar with Aboriginal culture and the residents of the Torres Straits.

Briefly, Queensland is associated with limitless possibilities to study coupled with the best way of living in the country.

South Australia is a  place for unforgettable adventures, close encounters with nature, exciting events and outback landscapes.

Tasmania is an island of about 64,000 square kilometres and lies 240 kilometres south-east of the Australian coast and is the country´s smallest state.  It only has a population of half a million and almost half the island is covered in forest.

The biggest attraction of Tasmania is its enormous, unpopulated space, the majority of which is protected as natural wilderness. It is possible to even fish for a few days and not see the presence of a single person. This also means that it is much easier to spot eagles soaring overhead or some fish which, due to their paw-like fins and special gills, can go on land. You can also encounter a number of marsupials including wombats and Tasmanian devils.

There are small villages scattered all over Tasmania where you can still often see the homes of the original British settlers. In the peace and quiet that reigns here you can very quickly forget about the hustle and bustle of normal life.

The easiest way to get to Tasmania is to take the ‘ Spirit of Tasmania´ ferry which travels between the island and Melbourne all day and night.

Cradle Mountain and St Claire´s Lake National Park
The most famous of Tasmania´s wilderness areas. Here you can find lakes, extensive heath land, mountain views and excellent mountain trails. You can also come across wallabies, spiny anteaters and wombats.  Both Australian and foreign tourists come to the Cradle Mountain and St Clare´s Lake National Park which also has the deepest lake in Australia.

Tasmanian Devil
It looks a bit like a badger with black or dark brown colouring and white crescent-like markings on its stomach and lives only in Tasmania. Its name derives from both its howl and the fact that it is very aggressive and will not run away even from animals which are much stronger than itself.

Devonport
Is a town on the banks of the river Mersey. Famous for its beautiful white lighthouse and local handicrafts.

Hugging the tip of the Australian east coast, Victoria is Australia's second-smallest state, covering 227,600 square kilometres - roughly the size of the British Isles.

Packed into such a compact area is a wealth of diverse regional areas and attractions, from sweeping coastline and pristine beaches to national parks and forests teeming with wildlife to wineries, lakes and mountains offering skiing, climbing and hiking. Best of all, many of Victoria's unique and varied landscapes are easily accessible as day trips from Melbourne.

Despite its small size, the Victorian climate varies across the state. The north is much drier and warmer weather than the south. Australia's seasons are the reverse of those in the northern hemisphere.

Melbourne and Victoria host some of Australia's most prestigious events throughout the year, including the Spring Racing Carnival culminating in the Melbourne Cup, the Australian Open Tennis Championships, the Formula 1™ Australian Grand Prix, the Melbourne International Arts Festival, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. Your tastebuds will be rewarded with a number of food and wine events around the state.

Western Australia takes up almost one third of the continent of Australia and a large part of this state is desert. Each spring, as if by magic, the arid ground is transformed into a colourful sea of flowers. There are less than two million people in the whole state of Western Australia and two thirds of them live in Perth.

The history of the state began in 1827 with the arrival of the first Europeans but its development really started during the 1890s when gold was discovered in the fields of Coolgaride. Since then, because of its rich natural resources, Western Australia´s development has been one of successive economic booms.
