So you may have read our article why 59 Reasons Why New Zealand is the Best Place on Earth (you can read it here). We received so much love from the article that we decided to create a similar celebration of Australia and all its beauty! Here at Nomads we are torn when deciding which country is the better travel destination – each has its own unique character and diverse landscape as you travel from place to place. To put it simply, no destination in the world compares to Australia or New Zealand. So while we continue to sit on the fence with this one, we will leave it up to you to decide which country is the ultimate paradise.
So here they are… 59 reasons why Australia is the best place on earth!
1. It is home to the largest sand island in the world: Fraser Island

3. Melbourne is voted the world’s most liveable city year after year
4. The largest property in Australia (a cattle station of course) is larger than Belgium
