ABOUT AUSTRALIA
Australia is rated as having an excellent quality of life, a stable political and legal system, a growing economy for many years, and a top-notch education system. In 2021, Australia had four cities ranked in the top 10 most livable cities in the world (according to a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit).
Australia has four seasons in a year, with the north having a tropical climate going through a wet and dry season. Summer lasts from December to March (average temperature 29°C), autumn lasts from March to May, winter lasts from June to August (average 13°C), and spring from September to November.
