The continent of Australia, with the island state of Tasmania, is approximately equal in area to the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Mountain ranges run from north to south along the east coast, reaching their highest point in Mount Kosciusko (7,308 ft; 2,228 m). The western half of the continent is occupied by a desert plateau that rises into barren, rolling hills near the west coast. (Source 1)
Australia is the world’s smallest continent and the sixth-largest country with the lowest population density in the world, the island of Tasmania 26,178 sq mi (67,800 sq km) with two people per square kilometer. (Source 1)

    The Queensland area, on paper, would be the most desirable area to relocate to. A factor in this decision for me is the fact that I am a certified scuba diver and the location is on the doorstep of the most amazing location to dive in the world, The Great Barrier Reef. Listen up here, this reef extends over 1600 mile long and contains over 3000 clusters of individual reefs (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0101/feature2/). If you're familiar how to use it, Google earth it, simply amazing. The culture in Australia is very similar to that of the United States, there is a very diverse range of people from all over the world. The Australian people are fond of the " barby" when they cook. There cooking style stem form the days of the British and English rule, meat and potatoes are commonly found the diner table, which is completely fine in my book.

Gambling is a pastime of many, and horse racing and greyhound racing are popular sports for this…
