Australia is wide and empty, so if you're tired of crowded Europe, it might just be the place for you.
People are friendly, there is an abundance of unique wildlife and the country accommodates backpackers very well.
There is a strange kind of remote feeling to the whole place, and a month may become a year in no time at all...
