GEOGRAPHY – AUSTRALIA 2
As we move from one geographical region to another, life becomes different. Most
people wonder what life is like in some of the countries, especially those that are isolated and
separate from the rest of the world. Australia, being a continent and a continent at the same time,
is one of those countries. I chose Australia because is a country that most people find fascinating
to live in, regardless of its geographical location. In addition, it has not changed much in more
The climate in Australia is warm, with little rainfall. For this reason, Australians love the
outdoor life whether it is swimming, surfing, skating or just hanging out the beach, which they
regard as their home. In addition, most part of the country is characterized by deserts and steppes
climates (Pretty et al, 2007). Majority of the population prefers to live on or near the coast. Being
near the water is medicinal for the residents, as it is healing and a source of happiness. Even if it
is not to swim, just looking at the ocean can be very therapeutic for many Australians.
Even if some say that Australia is like the United States 50 years ago, it is still the most
expensive place to live in the world. The country has everything ranging from beautiful beaches,
the Great Barrier Reef, cities with culture galore climates (Pretty et al, 2007). Basically living in
Australia is a wonderful quality of life even if one has to pay for it. The weather can be totally
insane as it has led people to believe that it is possible to experience 4 seasons in one day. Those
who have been to Australia probably know that the perimeter of the country is where the magic
happens. There are 8 major cities but in the center of the country there is literally nothing.
