With borders opening up around the world, many of us are starting to think about travelling again

Some of you may be preparing for an end-of-year trip or even planning ahead for the long Chinese New Year break from January 2023 onwards, which is a great time for travelling.

Oftentimes the hardest decisions when planning for a holiday especially after a long time is the destination.

There is a place that offers Malaysian travellers an experience of Western culture without having to travel across the world — none other than Australia!

Australia is certainly a unique place in the world

It's a country that's so large that it's a continent all by itself! Australia is the sixth largest country in the world, and of course, it is the home of famous actor Chris Hemsworth.

Its cosmopolitan cities are rich with food, culture, and arts, while its scenic views of the countryside make it a must-stop for nature lovers.

Australia's diverse offerings and close proximity to Malaysia relative to other Western countries make it a perfect place for any traveler.
