If you’ve been thinking about visiting Australia, you might have second-guessed the decision for various reasons. Many think Australia is too far away. Others assume that there isn’t anything exciting about Australia beyond the Great Barrier Reef or the kangaroos and koalas. Some also seem to think that places in Regional Australia are boring rural spots with nothing to offer. Rebecca Hall breaks down these misconceptions visitors and students have about Australia.
First of all, it really doesn’t take that long to travel to Australia from anywhere in the world. This perception probably comes from Australia being its own continent. It’s true that you can’t exactly reach it from other countries like you do when backpacking across Asia or South America. But it’s just as accessible as any other country by plane.
Australia and its sights are often featured in movies. However, there is so much more here than what is seen in mainstream media. . Students moving to Australia should learn about its deep history and amazing indigenous culture. There are also many unexpected and truly unique experiences in Australia.
Regional Australia also has its unique flavor. The cities are quite modern, with great institutions combined with scenic views. Living in these areas provide a rich variety of adventures and a quality lifestyle for all.
We hope we helped debunk some of the biggest misconceptions visitors and students have about Australia. Have a good trip!
