20 Things No One Will Tell You Before You Move to Australia

Australia has over 10,000 beaches

Sure, you would expect an island that’s mostly desert in the Southern Hemisphere to contain plenty of beaches, but it’s pretty staggering when you realize that Australia has over 10,000 of them!

There are over 18,000 miles of beachfront in Australia, even more if you count the multiple islands off the mainland. Many traditional trades in Australia are completely reliant on their waterfront – pearling, fishing, marine biology, and oceanfront tourism, just to name a few.

If you move to Australia, chances are you’ll never be far from a beach. Even if you’re not into swimming or water sports, there are plenty of beautiful natural formations along the coastline that are worth a visit, such as the Twelve Apostol’s limestone stacks off the coast of Victoria.
