It has the sixth largest per capita income in the world. It is said that Melbourne is the world's most liveable cities. Another reason why Australia appeals fo me, is its beautiful beaches and climate. Winters are mils and summers are hot and sunny.

Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call which is uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter.
