Perth

With 1,5 million citizens is the most remote city in the world. Is like nice little oasis in the middle of desert with its friendly people and laid back attitude.

Western Australia
total population reaching just over 2 million (0.84 people per km2) is quite wild and empty just some industrial factorys and mining towns. Most economy is based on those minings, minerals, iron ores and exports what brings more wealth per person than other states.
Like this Australia with its resources and China with its production might start to play key role in world economy if USA continues with their credit and consumption strategy that lead to last economic crash.

To left out Australians general 'f..king backpacker' attitude then people who are traveled by them selfs are always nice and helpful.
They like to say: "There is everything in Australia that they dont have in Europe".
But same time: "There is everything in Europe that they dont have in Australia" ;)

And there is defenely something about the sun. The higher it gets the less people seem to think including myself. Apparently there is some chemicals that body produces that make you active but same time nervous. Somehow same chemicals stop your body growing when you smoke. Thats why there are no tall people under sun.

There are total over 0,5 million indigenous people living in Australia. Last ones found in a bush around half century ago. Even thou they seem quite primitive they have other qualities, for example they often know time by sun or stars.

There is theory of Portugese discovering Australia long before James Cook was born. The maps invented in 1520s where just upside down. There is also Machado-Joseph Disease witch comes from Portugal but is somehow found in Groote Island and Northern Territory.

In the end of the year i finished my around Australia trip and went back to Darwin. There wasnt much changed, couple of high buildings finished and couple of new ones growing. Even same people on the street witch made me thinking that if you dont change anything in your life then not much changes by itself.
