Australia, the island continent.

The melting pot down under, Australia is an exceptional country to settle down in. Ranked by the United Nations as the second-best country in the world for its quality of life in 2015, Australia unceasingly attracts international skilled workers to migrate and to make their dreams realized.
Australia has a growing population, which today is approximately 26 million. Immigration plays a large part in sustaining the continued growth in population.
Australia is an island continent and the world's sixth largest country (7,682,300 sq km). Sydney and Melbourne are the 2 largest cities.
The majority of Australia experiences temperate weather for most of the year. The northern states of Australia are typically warm all the time, with the southern states experiencing cool winters but rarely sub-zero temperatures.
Australia is a unique and diverse country in every way - in culture, population, climate, geography, and history. And it is truly one of the best countries to immigrate to.
