Australian Geography

Australia is situated in the southern hemisphere and covers 2.9 million square miles in total. Australia's capital city is Canberra which is in Australian Capital Territory. The largest city in Australia is Sydney with a population of about 4.3 million people. Australia is surrounded by 3 oceans, the Indian, the Pacific and also the Southern Ocean and is separated from Asia by the Timor and Arafua seas. Australia is home to the largest coral reef in the world, which is known as the Great Barrier Reef and extends for a massive 1,250 miles down the east coast. Because of its size Australia is the ideal place for car hire as it allows you to visit many of its beautiful tourist attractions, which are spread across the country.

Australian History

Indigenous Australians have inhabited mainland Australia for 42,000 - 48,000 years; they arrived via land bridges and short sea crossings from Southeast Asia. In 1770 the British who officially settled through penal transportation claimed the eastern half of the mainland and the colony was known as New South Wales. As new areas was explored and the population increased another 5 colonies was established during the 19th Century. These colonies then became a federation, which formed the commonwealth of Australia.

Car Rental Australia

Travelling around Australia is easy as all the main cities are connected by major motorways, highways and reliable rail services. However why would you want to sit on a train and miss out on some of the world's most amazing views that can be seen if you travel by car. Car Hire Australia allows you to experience the fantastic views of the Australian coastline and you can even venture into the countryside. If you are planning a trip to Kakadu National Park why not stay over at one of the campsites near by before you begin your journey to further attractions. If you decide to use car rental it is useful to be aware that there are very strict drink driving laws and it is quiet common for there to be random breath tests taking place. When travelling through the outback it is important that you take a map of the route and also make sure you carry enough food and water, generally 5 litres per day per person. At Auto Reservation Plus we offer various different collection and drop off points throughout Australia, so you will not be stuck no matter what your needs for car hire in Australia.

The Blue Mountains

Lying about 100km west of Sydney, the Blue Mountains are a range of sandstone structures that make up the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site which is made up of 7 national parks and one conservation reserve. The name comes from the blue colouring the mountains appear to have when viewed at a distance. This is caused by the eucalyptus oils released from the native gum trees. The Blue Mountains is home to some amazing tourist attractions: The Three Sisters, The Katoomba Scenic Railway, The Scenic Skyway and Flyway, The Jenolan Caves, The Zig Zag Railway just to name a few.
