Geologically Australia is the most ancient of the continents. But for many centuries it was marked on the maps as “terra incognita”.

The first man who reached the Australian coasts was Willem Jansz, a Dutch seaman. He landed on the northern coast of the continent in 1606.

The northern and western coasts were investigated by the Dutch in the 17th century. The sailors named the continent New Holland.

In 1770 James Cook, a British navigator, reached the coasts of Australia. He was the first to investigate Australia and named a lot of its mountains and bays.

The beginning of the British colonization of Australia was connected with the loss of the thirteen American colonies during the War of Independence. The British government lost the right to send criminals from England to North America. The loss was compensated by seizing new territories. The first group of criminals arrived in Australia in 1787 and founded a settlement named Sydney. And only in 1793 the first group of settlers who were not convicts came to Australia.

The 50s of the 19th century were the turning point in the history of Australia. The deposits of gold were found then, and it led the country to the rapid economic development. Till that time Australia had held the first place at the world wool market. Since that time the industry started to develop in the country.

The discovery of gold also led to a large wave of immigrants to the country. In 1900 the British colonies got the rights of states. In 1901 they united in a single state. That was the beginning of the modern Australia.

Geologically, Australia is the oldest of the continents. But for many centuries it was marked on the maps as "terra incognita".

The first person to reach the coast of Australia was Willem Janss, a Dutch sailor. He landed on the northern coast of the continent in 1606.

The northern and western shores were explored by the Dutch in the 17th century. The sailors named the continent New Holland.

In 1770, James Cook, a British navigator, reached the coast of Australia. He was the first to explore Australia and named many mountains and bays.

The beginning of the British colonization of Australia was associated with the loss of thirteen American colonies during the Revolutionary War. The British government lost the right to send criminals from England to North America. The loss was compensated by the capture of new territories. The first group of criminals arrived in Australia in 1787 and founded a settlement called Sydney. And only in 1793 the first group of settlers who were not convicted arrived in Australia.

The 1950s were a turning point in Australian history. Gold deposits were found and this led the country to rapid economic development. Until that time, Australia had been the world's leading wool market. Since then, the industry began to develop in the country.

The discovery of gold also led to a large wave of immigrants to the country. In 1900, the British colonies received the rights of states. In 1901 they united into a single state. This was the beginning of modern Australia.

In other words, Australia is considered to be one of the most breathtaking countries in terms of natural wealth and is definitely worth a visit. There are an incredible number of attractions in it, but there are those that deserve special attention.

One of the most beautiful parts of the country is framed blue mountains. This picturesque mountainous area is located less than two hours from Sydney by car or train. Some people call this Australian landmark the "Three Sisters" rock. Consisting of sandy hills, the area is famous for its deep valleys and mountains, towering 1190 meters above sea level. Most of these mountains are included in the World Heritage List as a valuable protected area. The area around the Blue Mountains today consists of seven national parks. It is an ideal holiday destination not only for nature lovers, but also for families and adventure seekers.

sydney aquarium- a place where both children and adults want to visit first of all when visiting this city.

Whitsunday Islands can be ranked among the most attractive natural attractions in the world. They are located off the central coast of Queensland in the shelter of the Great Barrier Reef. In all, there are seventy-four islands in the group. Most of them are occupied by national parks and paradise beaches. This place is simply created for tourists who are looking for a beach holiday, as well as opportunities for diving and yachting. Perhaps the most popular tourist destination is Whitehaven. This is a four-kilometer strip of beach with sand shimmering in the sun. Due to the lack of accommodation options, many tourists choose to camp on the islands and set up their tents. It is also a good way for the locals to spend their weekends.
