Travel guide - Australia | Petit Futé (French)

A practical guide to Australia with tourist information and addresses.

The absence of geological upheaval for tens of millions of years, a contrasting climate, and erosion have created landscapes unlike any other, and some give the impression of seeing the earth as it must have been millions of years ago. Australia is synonymous with contrasts and contradictions: from the silence of the Outback, we move to the bustle of the city. After discovering kangaroos or whales, we visit the Sydney Opera House on the water. And the oldest culture in the world, that of the Aboriginal people, rubs shoulders with the megacities of Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne.
