Australia is an amazing country of contrasts, where cute koalas and kangaroos coexist with the world's most dangerous spiders, snakes and crocodiles. Where everything is upside down - in winter there can be fifty degrees of heat, in summer - frost, and in the south it is always colder than in the north. Where the head of state is still the English monarch, despite independence gained in 1901. The author of the book, Victoria Stankeyeva, was born in Transbaikalia, but has been living in Australia for more than 10 years. She works as a journalist and producer at the largest state-owned Australian television and radio company SBS, where she hosts various programs and makes news in Russian. She knows better than anyone why Australia is a country upside down, what Australians are really like, how they spend their free time and much more. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
