About Australia
Australia is a beautiful country located in the Southern Hemisphere and makes up the entire Australian continent. As the 6th largest country in area, Australia stretches about 7.6 million square kilometers from Sydney on the east coast to Perth on the west.
The land of Australia was originally inhabited about 40,000 years ago by indigenous peoples. Europeans arrived much later, first in the 1600s and then more permanently in the 1700 and 1800s. The Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901 as a constitutional monarchy whose population has since expanded greatly to its current number of 22.7 million people. Once a penal colony established to dispose of society's misfits, Australia is now a very popular place both to visit and live.
Today Australia is a thriving, exciting country with a successful economy and healthy standard of living. With this comes a high academic standard, which is maintained from the beginning years through to highest levels of education at the 38 universities and beyond.
