While you will not see one hopping down the main street of Sydney, we do guarantee that you will see a kangaroo. The kangaroo is unique to Australia and one of our most easily recognized mammals. There are more kangaroos in Australia now than when Australia was first settled. Estimates suggest around 40 million -- that's 2 kangaroos for every 1 Aussie. You can even come home with a photo of yourself petting a kangaroo at Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo or Wild World in Cairns.

Pretty close mate! You can even hold one. On our tours everyone has the opportunity to be photographed actually cuddling and petting a koala.

ABSOLUTELY! Australia produces 95% of the world's precious opals and 99% of black opals. Coober Pedy in South Australia is known as the opal capital of the world. With year-round extremes in temperature, more than 50% of the population live in below-ground dugouts! From diamonds, emeralds, gold, silver and industrial minerals Australia's natural resources are fabulous. This amazing natural wealth, still largely untapped, makes Australia one of the most resource-rich nations on earth.
