Australia (9th Jan : 16th Feb 2007)
9th January 2007, I headed my journey to Sydney, business capital of Australia and city of harbor. I spent for 39 days and spent wonderful time. During tour I could manage to visit many places in Sydney and Melbourne and met wonderful people. I noticed Aussie people are humble and friendly. Some of the things in Australia were similar to those of in India. Those are…
- Multicultural Society: Australia has multi-cultural society. People from about 200 countries have migrated to Australia, making Australia one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. On the other side India too has got 28 states and 7 union territories, each with unique culture, identity. Most of the Indians are multilingual and multi cultural. And they feel proud to be part of such a nice country.
- 26th January: India and Australia share common national day 26th of January. In the year 1808 - January 26th, The Rum Rebellion succeeds in taking control of the Australian government, Aussie celebrate that day as an Australia Day. On the same day in the year 1950 the Constitution of India comes into force, and India declares itself as a “Republic”, a date thereafter celebrated annually as Republic Day in India.
- Drives on Left: Like India, Australia is one of the few countries in the world that drives on the left. There is a history behind why some countries follows the British way of left side driving. Click here to know more
