The Most Complete Australia Information Available Online in the UK

A major on-line source of information about Australia has been launched in England. Australiaz.co.uk covers from low cost flights to finance, banking, the history and geography of the island continent.

London, UK (PRWEB) January 28, 2006 -- From a low cost flight to banking, finance, taxation and tourism, all the information you need on Australia can now be found on the UK’s top Australia resource online.

Mark Minding, owner of http://www.australiaz.co.uk announcing the launch of the site also highlighted the historical ties between England and Australia. In fact it is now nearly 250 years since explorer James Cook claimed two-thirds of the continent for Britain.

Actually, Lieutenant Cook defied orders from King George III who wanted a treaty with the indigenous population ahead of any claim to the new territory.

The first settlers from Europe, the majority of them from England and Ireland arrived eight years later. The year was 1778 and since then immigration has been a major factor in the country’s development.

Australians are predominantly of British or Irish origin and Minding believes that many a family tree traced from down-under will find its roots in England. He said ‘australiaz.co.uk’ is all about the culture, geography, history and all things Australian including travel to and around the island Continent.

Observing that the outlook of Australia is similar to that of the United Kingdom the webmaster said research suggests that the Australiaz website from the U. K could be a first on-line source that pools such a wide mix of information on Australia.

Do you have a question about geography? For instance, you can learn from http://www.australiaz.co.uk that Australia encompasses a wide variety of bio geographic regions. It is the world's smallest continent but the sixth-largest country. The population is concentrated along the eastern and south eastern coasts; regular, tropical, invigorating, sea breezes known as "the Doctor" occur along the west coast in the summer. Did you also know that Australia is about 31.5 times bigger than the United Kingdom?
