Australia is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of landmass and also one of the most prosperous when it comes to GDP. At the same time, most of the country is sparsely populated, with large chunks of its population present in urbanized areas such as Sydney and Melbourne. However, Australia’s large land mass lends it no shortage of beaches, mountains, or other adventure tourism sites. It is also one of the most ecologically diverse regions in the world.
