		<description><![CDATA[If you’re a sports fan, be sure to attend a match for one of Australia’s long list of nationally played sports. Sports are one of the major pastimes and forms of entertainment for local Australians, whether playing or spectating. Australia boasts some of the world’s best outdoor sporting venues, not to mention some of the world’s most competitive players in many sports. The most popularly-watched include football (soccer), rugby, cricket, boxing, surfing, netball (volleyball), baseball, basketball, golf, gymnastics, cycling, horse racing (including a variation of harness racing), tennis, motor speedway racing, swimming, bowling, martial arts and spearfishing; some sports seasons top out at over a million viewers! Some of the sports listed above are even divided between three or more different styles of playing. Rugby, for instance, is split between Rugby League and Rugby Union, similar in styles, but each feature rules that are uniquely different from others disciplines. &#160; Australia hosts a number of professional sports leagues, including the Australian Football League (AFL), the National Rugby League (NRL), the National Basketball League as well as the Women’s National Basketball League, among many others. Large venues for watching games are located in most major cities, and the most popular sports are basketball, football, netball and rugby. If you happen to be visiting the capital, spend a relaxing day watching a cricket match at Sydney’s Cricket Ground, or get caught up in an energetic rugby, football, or cricket match at ANZ Stadium, a magnificent venue that was built specifically to host ...]]></description>

Whether you have thoughts of becoming an Australian citizen long-term or a student wanting to study abroad, the many wonderful things about our country, such as the rich culture, friendly people, beautiful weather and more, will keep you from ever wanting to leave! Our culture is extremely diverse with people coming from areas all over the world, of various religious faiths and traditions. We can say for sure, however, that everyone who settles in Australia has come for many of the same reasons, one of which is to enjoy the calm, outdoors, easy-going lifestyle that the Land Down Under is best known for. People here are extremely friendly and social, even going out of their way to greet and converse with strangers. They are also very upbeat and generally very happy. For students, Australia boasts a number of prestigious universities, making it even easier to make new friends and be provided with opportunities to explore and take in the sights, wildlife, and local culture. Australia’s cost of living is also much lower than those of other nations, especially including France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Petrol is cheap,shopping is fairly easy to manage, and, being the smallest continent with less area to cover when transporting goods, most produce is kept in the country, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When planning a trip to Australia, prepare to plan part of your budget around dining. That being said, no trip abroad is complete until you’ve not only experienced the sights and culture, but also the local cuisine! As Australia has largely been settled by outsiders over the decades, all areas of the continent have pretty much evolved into a large melting pot of various cultures, traditions, and cuisine. The heavy influence from culinary cultures from all over the globe has made a direct and lasting impact on the flavours and traditions of cooking down under. English settlers brought in imported food staples such as tea, biscuits, coffee and other local flavors. Displaced Irish folk arrived in large numbers after the Great Potato Famine, bringing their cultural dishes and ingredients with them as well. Cuisines from the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Asian countries also took root ‘down under’, and at a rapid pace. New and exotic crops sprouted anywhere as good fertile soil was available in abundance. A melding of a wide variety of cooking techniques sprung up in all areas, each developing their own styles. Not until fairly recently has the diet of the Aborigines, the true natives of Australia, made any influence on local fare and its preparation. As local chefs began to dig into their country’s roots, dishes using ingredients such as kangaroo, emu, muntari berries, lemon aspen and lemon myrtle, bush tomatoes, and other ingredients indigenous to the region, have begun to appear on the menus of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering a Trip “Down Under”? Know the Facts Before You Make your Plans! Climate and Seasons Being not only a very large country, but a continent in itself, Australia offers a large melting pot of climates that vary greatyl from region to region. Depending on what corner of this continent you plan to visit, keep in mind that the weather can easily shift between below zero temperatures in areas of higher altitude to scorching heat in the north western regions. The south part of Australia probably enjoys the most consistently temperate of climates. In the wintertime, temperatures are comfortably cool, not cold, and summers are warm, but not hot. The northern areas, however, experience more of a lush climate, including very wet, not to mention colder, winters, and very hot and dry summers (don’t forget your chap stick!). Central locations are know to be extremely dry all year round, there are exceptions that do occur, but as a rule it is generaly dry. A rule of thumb is the closer you are to the coastline, the more conservative and agreeable the weather will be whereas the more inland you travel, the drier the climates will become, resulting in colder nights and hotter days I&#8217;ll mention chapstick again to emphasize its importance in such weather changes Another major planning tool that is often easy to forget is some basic knowledge on Australian seasons. At what times of year each can be enjoyed? Since Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia, as a European colony, has been in existence since 1788. Only eleven years after the Declaration of Independence was signed in the United States. The largest island in the world was discovered by a Dutch explorer by the name of Willem Janszoon in 1606. After his first landing, many other cartographers, traders and other curious explorers made frequent visits, attempting to map out the coastlines and ensure safe haven and suitable living conditions for humans. Regardless of the fact that this work occurred over the course of two hundred years, our lands were already inhabited by Oz’s own native Aborigines, people settled into tribes that spread across the whole of the land for many centuries, some say over fifty thousand years before white settlers arrived, with hundreds of different languages, dialects and ways of life. Once enough information and mapping was completed, Britain made the choice to occupy the island, mostly due to fear they would lose their standing in the world, should other countries attempt to claim the land as their own. Settlers were sent in by the boatload, the majority of which were British convicts. Over the course of the next few years, as development of a new and untouched land increased, what would eventually be known as the Land Down Under was seen as a great opportunity to expand Britain’s market and meet the growing demands of an advancing modern society. During the first few years, hardships were common. Death and disease spread, and settling was ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Planning to visit the Land Down Under? The Australian Outback is one of the most beautiful natural areas in the world! It’s not nearly as dangerous as you may think, as long as you use a bit of common sense, know where to go and above all know where not to go. What we call the “Outback” here in Australia is the very large and vast remote area that does not provide fertile soil. It does not experience enough rainfall throughout the year for successful urbanization. This is why more than ninety percent of us live on the coasts of the island. The Outback is a great place for hiking, camping, backpacking, exploring natural landscapes and various forms of wildlife. It’s not all comprised of desert landscape, either. Many areas can be very rocky, some farther north can be lush and green, with waterfalls and abundant signs of life. Depending on how you plan to traverse the area, be well prepared! Nights spent in this vast expanse can get very cold, so warm clothing is definitely necessary! Good sturdy shoes are also a must, and other non-clothing items that can prove to be very beneficial during your travels include hats, sunscreen, a warm sleeping bag, mosquito nets and bug repellant.Not sure where to go or what to see? Some of the most famous sights in the great Outback include; Ayers Rock King’s Canyon Devil’s Marbles Katherine Gorge Tennant Creek Mount Augustus National Park. Keep in mind that these areas can ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a beautiful and flourishing country like Australia, there are many Government resources designated to its citizens including health insurance that readily available to a large percentage of residents unlike many other countries whereby such luxuries are simply not as accessible. Australia is lucky enough to have a strong working and successful Emergency care system in place servicing our almost 22 million residents (source Australia Bureau of Statistics ) In the event of an emergency in Australia call 000 (triple zero) which is a hotline service that will put you through to a Telstra operator. The operator will ask which service you require- police, fire or ambulance. All operators are highly skilled emergency situations and well trained in obtaining correct and relevant information in the timeliest manner possible. You should call 000 for; Life or property threatening time critical situations Incidents that are occurring at time of call and have just occurred. Incidents that involve violence eg. domestic violence, assault, robbery and brawl When a person fears for their safety or the safety of others. Sudden illness or injury requiring immediate ambulance attention. Fire Questions that you should be prepared to answer include; What is the exact location of the emergency? What is your call back phone number? (preferably mobile number) What is the problem (what exactly happened) How many people are hurt? How old is the person? Is the person conscious? Is the person breathing? Speak clearly, answer all questions as best you can and at no stage should ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We may be in a financial crisis, but one thing you cannot put a price on is a good education. Whether you are choosing a school for a child or thinking of furthering your own education, where one studies can affect future work aspirations. Employers look at where you have studied and often hire based on reputation, so a quality education will not be in vain. There is one question that the parent must ask themselves before settling on the actual school they wish their child to attend: public or private? Public (or state) schools are free of charge (or incurring very few costs) and offer a quality education without the added perks of a private education. Often, public schools are more academically successful than private schools, proving that huge fees are not always congruous with good results. Click on this link for an excellent public school website. It has information on schools everywhere in N.S.W. and you can type in your suburb to find out schools near you. It is an excellent and in-depth resource for any parent about to send their child to an Australian school. Private schools are often sneered at by sections of the community, and indeed they do carry a certain pre-conceived tag. Many consider an education to be a status symbol, and truthfully, there is evidence to say that private school students are more employable simply on the basis of where they went to school. Boys’ private schools – Kings, Joeys, Knox Grammar, Shore, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The past few years has seen Australia, a country with a decent amount of respect for the environment transform into a country that is slowly reaching its aim of becoming global leaders in the protection and promotion of environmental causes. Part of this success is the enthusiasm of many people in our communities. People like you and me truly have the power when it comes to protecting the local environments and also preserving the environment for future generations. Today across Australia, there is a wealth of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), research groups and Government Agencies producing research and information available for everyone to use in their daily lives and in their homes. In February 2009 the Australian Government released the 2009 Green Package, which is an indicator that the government has a goal to improve funding for the environment and shows that the people of Australia really do care about their environment. Recently people from all walks of life find themselves meeting environmental issues head on and adverse environmental issues are affecting more and more communities. By starting in our homes, we can directly influence our local communities, our children and others around us Where to start At your fingertips you can call, browse online or visit in person a vast array of information on what sustainability actually is and how every person can use the information to build a stronger and safer community. Greening your home and lifestyle has never been easier and with so much help and information out ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the unquestionably iconic golf-parody, “Happy Gilmour”, Happy has a rhetorical question for his petulant golf ball: “Why don’t you just go HOME&#8230; Are you too good for your HOME??!!” While the movie “Happy Gilmour” doesn’t address the bigger questions in life, it perfectly describes the frustration that many golfers feel once out on the golf course. Getting that little white ball in the hole can be a tough task unless you’ve got the technique, skill and, above all else, patience. Golf is popular for several different reasons and thus attracts a wide range of participants. Although some may see it as a game for “old people”, golf is played by people of all ages and abilities. Even the most naturally talented sportsman may be terrible at golf; it is a sport that requires endless practice. The handicap system means that anyone can play against each other, regardless of their ability. Stableford is a scoring system where players receive points dependent on their handicap and stroke index of each hole, and how well they performed on that hole. The amount of points that a player can receive depends on several factors, including the stroke index (difficulty) of certain holes. Basically, if you play to your handicap then you will shoot a score of 36 in a stableford competition (two points for each hole on average), a very good score. Another form of competition is best-ball, which is great for social golf. Each player in a group hits from the same ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a variety of entertainment options available throughout all states of Australia. The most popular forms of entertainment usually revolve around going to an event such as a play or music ‘gig’ (like a small concert). The larger cities of Sydney and Melbourne are usually home to more elaborate and larger performances. Sometimes theatre companies or musicians may choose to bypass smaller cities such as Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. However, it is in these smaller cities that smaller local performances and acts flourish. ‘Gigs’ are very popular in smaller country towns and holiday destinations and will usually take place in a local pub or restaurant. Going to the movies is also very big business in Australia! Going to the cinema can be either an informal or formal event and now has more options than ever with regards to seating, viewing and service. These will be discussed later. For now, we will talk a bit about how to find access to plays and music performances and what might be expected Plays or theatre shows will usually be shown at the one place for the duration of the show. Depending on the company doing the performance and how long they are playing for, they will commonly do one show per night (excluding two consecutive days, usually Monday and Tuesday) as well as two shows each day on a weekend. Daytime shows are called ‘matinee’ shows and tickets for these are cheaper. They can sell quickly, especially if they are for a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Buying your own home is something that is easier in Australia than in many other countries. In fact right now (Dec 2011) repayments on a home are less than rents in many urban areas. Having said that buying a home is probably the single most difficult thing to do in your life, and the outcome will have implications extending well into the future. So how do you start the process of buying a house (or unit)? The first consideration for most people is where to live.  Many new immigrants to Australia may not have to make this choice. Their families will have settled closely enough together to keep in touch, and will want new arrivals to live in the same area as themselves. But for independent people there are many choices. Should I live in a flat? Or should I buy a house? Should I live near the city or in the suburbs? Where are the good schools? What is public transport like? Is it far from work? Is it near my family? These and many other issues will have to be thought about. To be able to buy a freestanding house in most capital cities of Australia you will probably need two incomes and at least 20 years of working life ahead of you. A unit (otherwise known as an apartment or flat) will almost always be cheaper (by up to 50% in some cases). The housing market has eased recently, but median prices are still high. For example ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Renting is tough at the moment. Several domestic and global factors have contributed to rising rental prices and a shortage of available properties.  Sydney and Melbourne have been the most affected – it is not uncommon to have over 30 people at a rental property inspection in some places.    Interest rates have been dropped to a current low of 4.25% (Oct, 2011) in an attempt to boost our flagging economy, and while there is some evidence that housing prices may fall due to the global financial crisis, there has been no positive impact on rental prices yet. Most people want to live as close to the city as they possibly can, as that is invariably where the action is.  Sydney’s inner west area is a magnet for university students keen to combine their urban studies with the vibrant night-life of the city.  The fact that so many people wish to live in the city has meant that some suburbs which once were unattractive are now sought after, due to their proximity to the urban centre.  Traditionally working-class suburbs such as Balmain and Stanmore have now become gentrified; inhabited by young professionals and university students. When renting in Australia, there are a couple of key things to remember.  Obviously, the first thing is to do a thorough check of the property before you sign the lease.  If appliances aren’t working or something is broken or just not right, the real estate agent needs to be informed before you are accountable for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are looking for short-term accommodation inAustralia, you are in luck.  There are plenty of short-term options available in all major cities for all types of people.  Australians understand the need to accommodate short term travelers and can assist with all your needs, be it a one, two, or six month stay. Short term stays of only a week or two are generally spent in hostels or hotels.  One well-known Australian hostel is the YHA.  It claims to cater specifically for youths, but the Youth Hostel Australia will take anybody who needs a place to stay.  You can store your own food in communal fridges and cook meals using the kitchen stove.  Like most hostels, it can be annoying living in close proximity to others, but the YHA has a good vibe to it as far as hostels go. Rent-a-Home Australiais a rather self-explanatory accommodation service that caters for holiday and corporate accommodation.   The website is interactive and allows the user to search for accommodation in the area of their choice. If you are interested in living in Sydney or Melbourne for a short period of time then this website may be of use.  Focusing on clean, budget accommodation, Short Stays has a minimum stay/charge of two weeks.  They offer clean, furnished flats in up to eight places inSydney’s CBD for up to six months duration.  It may be a good option to use this company whilst you are looking for a place to call home.

The country is indeed a year-round tourist destination, drawing numerous tourists with its sandy beaches and astonishing attractions.

Seasons in Australia You should actually take note that the seasons in Australia are the exact opposite of those in the Northern Hemisphere.

		<description><![CDATA[In the European Union, the consumption tax is called Value Added Tax or VAT. In some countries like New Zealand and Canada called their consumption tax as a goods and service tax (GST). In Australia, GST provisions are set out in a piece of Legislation called the &#8216;A New Tax System (Goods and Service Tax ) Act 1999&#8242; and the GST was implemented on 11th July, 2000. In Australia, GST is a part of the broader tax reform which replaces some indirect taxes. Australia&#8217;s GST is equivalent to consumption taxes as prevailed in other parts of the world. In Australia, administration of the GST is handled by the Australian Taxation Office known as A.T.O. Australian Taxation Office are expressed in Public Rulings and there are more than 70 Public Rulings concerning the operation of the GST. Prior to the GST, Australia operated a Wholesales Sales Tax (WST) which imposed a tax on wholesales of goods. The WST was introduced in the 30&#8242;s when Australia had an economy dominated by goods. In Australia, no business is free from GST except certain transaction which is classified. Every business has transaction and because the GST is a tax on transactions they must track and record the transaction so that they can make the decisions about the taxability of transactions. Transaction were defined earlier as an exchange of resources-goods, services, resources and work effort resulting in inflows and outlaws. Transactions under GST are also called Supplies. Supplies are classified into three categories :- 1. Taxable 2. Input &#8211; ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adopting a child is a big step. Sometimes such a step can be arduous. Discovering where to begin, which route to take, which path is more efficient for your personal situation, can be hard. Although there is plentiful information available about adoption that you may be able to find on the Internet, a majority of that information will be irrelevant to your personal circumstances. Every household is different, every child is different, and every agency is different. You are required, when adopting a child, to be eligible, express an interest, and be assessed on your capabilities to care for and love an adopted child. You may be unsure of what it means to be eligible to adopt. The adoption process differs from state to state, country to country. These differences are sometimes quite substantial, and other times very similar. In one place you may be required to be married in order to adopt, in another you may be able to be single and adopt. It all depends on the location you choose to adopt in, and the agency you decide to adopt from. Eligibility and assessment may be based on many different facets of your life, including but not limited to: age, ethnicity, lifestyle, income, marital status, country, etc. Some countries are much more flexible than others. Many options lay available to those seeking to adopt. From inter-country adoption to local adoption, various agencies are open to eager parents. Deciding which agency to proceed with is often the hardest part. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia as both a holiday destination and as a place for overseas students to study is increasingly popular. The richness of diversity in Australia&#8217;s culture adds to the fascination Australia holds as a tourist destination – and not only that. Australia is frequently chosen as the country of choice for marriages, even for people who don&#8217;t live in Australia. The Legal Stuff: is it legal to marry in Australia as a non-Australian citizen? The Marriage Act 1961 and the Marriage Regulations 1963 make it clear that non-Australian citizens can be married in Australia. Residence is not a factor for marriages in Australia. Marriage Celebrants will require the same documentation for non-residents of Australia as for residents, and the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) includes the question &#8220;If party born outside Australia, total period of residence in Australia&#8221;. Will my marriage in Australia be recognised in my own country? Marriages solemnised in Australia are legally recognised internationally. If you have any doubts about a marriage performed in Australia being legally recognised in your country, you should contact your Embassy beforehand. A full list of foreign embassies in Australia is shown here. http://protocol.dfat.gov.au/Mission/list.rails Will my Marriage Celebrant lodge the marriage certificate with my country? The Marriage Celebrant lodges all required documentation with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in the State (in Australia) where the marriage was performed. The paperwork may take 1-2 weeks to be processed; however, in cases where the paperwork is urgently required by the married couple (for instance, if the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mining in Australia is a major industry and primary contributor to the Australian economy. Historically, mining jobs also encouraged emigration to Australia. Many different ores and minerals mined in the country. Mines contributed much for prevention of potential failure of the first settlements in Australia. Silver and copper discovered later in South Australia in the 1840&#8242;s, resulting from the export of mineral and emigration of skilled miners and smelters. The first economic minerals in Australia were silver and lead that discovered on February 1841 at Glen Osmond, now a suburb of Adelaide in South Australia. Gawler mines Wheat and Wheat Watkins opened shortly afterwards. The value of these mines was quickly eclipsed by the discovery of copper at Kapunda (1842), Burra (1845) and copper in the Triangle (Moonta, Kadina and Wallaroo), at the top of the Yorke Peninsula (1861) In 1851, gold was found near Ophir, New South Wales. A few weeks later, gold was found in the new colony of Victoria. Australia gold rushes, particularly the gold rush in Victoria, had a great impact on the process of mining in Victoria and Australia. The influx of wealth to the richest colony of gold before Victoria in Australia, for the moment, and Melbourne the largest city on the island. In the mid 1850&#8242;s, 40% of the world&#8217;s gold produced in Australia. Australian population has changed dramatically since the gold rush. In 1851 the population was 437,655 and ten years later it was 1,151,947. The rapid growth is due mainly to a ...]]></description>
