nowhere else. The best-known animals, such as the kangaroo, koala and emu, are widespread in Australia and help define the country&#8217;s image. But beyond these iconic animals, there are many lesser-known species such as the wombat, Tasmanian devil and platypus that have found their place in Australian nature. The waters around Australia are also important for wildlife, with unique sea creatures such as the sea lion, dugong, whales and a variety of colourful fish and corals that populate the Great Barrier Reef. If you want to experience Australia&#8217;s wildlife in all its diversity, you should not only visit the well-known sights, but also explore remote, less touristy areas to feel a real connection with nature.    <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e78e45 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"9e78e45\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cf5e9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5cf5e9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Getting around<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94a4a5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94a4a5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Australia is a huge country, so domestic flights are a popular way to travel long distances quickly.
