I have had many friends travel overseas, and still I ask them, have you explored your own country first! I love life and would go anywhere, whether it be in Australia or any country in the world, but wouldn't you wan't to know your own country!

I agree with you to a degree. Most Australians do know their own country fairly well, our history and culture. I believe that a lot of people travel overseas to experience the different cultures around the world. It is such a vast and huge array of nationalities and countries out there and it is fantastic to experience it. I have done various road trips around Australia with my husband and children and the only state we haven't visited so far is Tasmania. My daughter has managed to do that on her own though. My husband and I have also been to Thailand, Hawaii, road trip across the USA with relatives, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Latvia. We intend to spend a couple of weeks later this year in New Zealand. It was a wonderful experience to travel overseas and to see where my family came from and some still live. I have became very proud of my heritage really only after travelling overseas. Though I am an Australian through and through, born and raised here. I believe Australia is a very unique country and has a lot to offer the tourist from overseas. I just love our outback, their is nothing like it.
