Australia is the largest country in Oceania and the only country in the world that covers an entire continent. Surrounded by sea, Australia has a unique ecosystem and natural landscape. Its diverse climate ranges from rainforests in the tropical north to temperate broadleaf forests in the temperate south to vast deserts in the central part of the country, giving rise to world-class landmarks such as the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru Boulders and the Great Ocean Road. As a multicultural country of immigrants, Australia blends Aboriginal culture with traditions from around the globe, and is socially inclusive. Economically, Australia has become the economic engine of the Southern Hemisphere with its rich mineral resources (e.g. iron ore, coal), well-developed agriculture (e.g. wheat, beef) and innovative service industries (e.g. finance, education). At the same time, the high quality of education resources (e.g., the "top eight" schools) and a laid-back lifestyle have made it a popular destination for study abroad and immigration.
