The sixth largest country in the world by area, Australia has a relatively small (but growing) population of 25 million. A G20 member, it has high quality of life and is constantly ranked among the world's most livable countries. It is a significant player in the economic and political spheres of the Indo-Pacific region.
Australia is huge but sparsely populated over much of its area and is larger than the contiguous U.S. You can sometimes travel many hours before finding the next trace of civilization, especially once you leave the south-eastern coastal fringe.

Australia is largely a cashless society, as virtually all businesses accept credit cards and debit cards. For a short trip, there is no need to exchange Australian currency. Cash is still widely accepted, but cashless businesses are increasingly common.
1-2% surcharges for card payments at cafes, pubs and restaurants are common (and perfectly legal), but you will likely lose more than that on the exchange if you pay cash.

Australian cuisine is hard to pin down: in this nation of immigrants, restaurants claiming to offer it are few and far between, and the word tends to either evoke meat-and-three-veg British stodge or tourist-trap restaurants hawking kangaroo burgers and crocodile kebabs. Yet with amazing local produce, influences from cuisines from all over the world, and an exciting Modern Australian food scene awaiting those not afraid to experiment, there are plenty of incredible eats and drinks to be found.
Generally speaking, table manners in Australia conform to European norms.
Austrália (em inglês: Australia, pronunciado: [ɒˈstreɪliə, ə-], coloquialmente: [-jə]), oficialmente Comunidade da Austrália (em inglês: Commonwealth of Australia), é um país do hemisfério sul, localizado na Oceania, que compreende a menor área continental do mundo ("continente australiano"), a ilha da Tasmânia e várias ilhas adjacentes nos oceanos Índico e Pacífico. O continente-ilha, como a Austrália por vezes é chamada, é banhado pelo oceano Índico, ao sul, e a oeste pelo mar de Timor, mar de Arafura e Estreito de Torres, a norte, e pelo mar de Coral e mar da Tasmânia, a leste. Através destes mares, tem fronteira marítima com a Indonésia, Timor-Leste e Papua-Nova Guiné, a norte, e com o território francês da Nova Caledónia, a leste, e a Nova Zelândia a sudeste. Durante cerca de quarenta mil anos antes da colonização europeia iniciada no final do século XVIII, o continente australiano e a Tasmânia eram habitadas por cerca de 250 nações individuais de aborígenes. Após visitas esporádicas de pescadores do norte e pela descoberta europeia por parte de exploradores holandeses em 1606, a metade oriental da Austrália foi reivindicada pelos britânicos em 1770 e inicialmente colonizada por meio do transporte de presos para a colônia de Nova Gales do Sul, fundada em 26 de janeiro de 1788. A população aumentou de forma constante nos anos seguintes, o continente foi explorado e, durante o século XIX, outros cinco grandes territórios autogovernados foram estabelecidos. Em 1 de janeiro de 1901, as seis colônias se tornaram uma federação e a Comunidade da Austrália foi formada. Desde a Federação, a Austrália tem mantido um sistema político democrático liberal estável e continua a ser um reino da Commonwealth. A população do país é de 23,4 milhões de habitantes, com cerca de 60% concentrados em torno das capitais continentais estaduais de Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth e Adelaide. Sua capital é Camberra, localizada no Território da Capital Australiana. Tecnologicamente avançada e industrializada, a Austrália é um próspero país multicultural e tem excelentes resultados em muitas comparações internacionais de desempenhos nacionais, tais como saúde, esperança de vida, qualidade de vida, desenvolvimento humano, educação pública, liberdade econômica, bem como a proteção de liberdades civis e direitos políticos. As cidades australianas também rotineiramente situam-se entre as mais altas do mundo em termos de habitabilidade, oferta cultural e qualidade de vida. A Austrália é o país com o quinto maior índice de desenvolvimento humano do mundo (IDH). É membro da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), G20, Comunidade das Nações, ANZUS, da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), bem como a Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC).

Travellers are generally unlikely to insult or cause offence to an Australian through any kind of cultural ignorance.
Australian modes of address tend towards the familiar. It is acceptable and normal to use first names in all situations, even to people many years your senior. Many Australians are fond of using and giving nicknames — even to recent acquaintances. It is likely being called such a name is an indication that you are considered a friend and as such it would be rare they are being condescending.
It is generally acceptable to wear revealing clothing in Australia. Bikinis and swimming attire are okay on the beach, and usually at the kiosk across the road from the beach. It is normal to wear at least a shirt and footwear before venturing any further. Most beaches are effectively top optional (topless) while sunbathing. Just about all women wear a top while walking around or in the water. There are some clothing optional (nude) beaches, usually a little further removed from residential areas. Thong bikinis (more commonly called g-string bikinis in Australia as thongs refer to flip-flop footwear) are fine on all beaches and some outdoor pools for women and men, although they are not as common as conventional beachwear. Some outdoor pools have a "top required" policy for women.
Cover up a little more when visiting places of worship such as churches. In warm conditions casual "t-shirt and shorts" style clothing predominates except in formal situations. Business attir…
