The largest country in Oceania, with a tropical and equatorial climate in the north and temperate in the south; huge, largely inhabited provinces, and creative, large cities along the coastlines. As a tourist, you can choose between enjoying nature, or enjoying city life. If you plan to stay longer it is wise to combine the two. The gay cities are Sydney, with the enormous Mardi Gras festival, Melbourne, and on the west coast, Perth. Travelling from Scandinavia takes almost 24 hours. If you're going to travel that far it is wise not to make your stay too short or only stay in one place. Australia is a federal state, independent from the United Kingdom in 1901. However, they still have the same head of state as the Brits.
