11ans:What Makes Australia Unique?
Every country is different with its culture, social norms, geography, food, and climate, but there are some that have a truly unique status. Australia is one of them. Australia is also known as the “Land Down Under” because it was discovered when explorers were searching for the land under Asia in the Southern Hemisphere.
Besides being the biggest continent country, and its peculiar English accent, there is a host of elements for which Australia endears and attracts people from all over the world.
