Australia is a huge country, 6th largest in the world. In fact its land mass is so huge that it is also classified as a continent by its own. Unlike most of other countries in the world, climate varies widely across Australia. While one can enjoy hot tropical weather of Darwin in Northern Territory on his first day, he or she can enjoy ski holidays on the next day in Snowy Mountain of New South Wales!
