The land of sand, surf and sea. The home to some of the oldest known inhabitants of this planet of ours. A mecca for the financial world and a melting pot of nationalities and cultures. The glorious land of Australia. Head there for business then you should know a few things before you arrive and these tips will help you;

It's bloody huge, the country of Australia with what are now 7 states, is one of the largest continents to have ever been (with the exception of when the world was all one continent) and this means that there are many entry points into it. To fly from one side to the other takes five and a half hours, so you need to know where you are headed, there is the usual two spots people head to for business and they are Sydney and Melbourne, Sydney being the financial beacon of the country and Melbourne sharing that but more often seen as the more artistic of the two. Sydney Kingsford Smith airport is connected to the centre of the city via trains which take about 20 mins to reach Central and freeways which again dependent on traffic take around the same amount of time. Melbourne international airport is connected in a similar fashion with trains to the centre however there are buses that go from the airport as well. The other airports across the country are of a very different nature, they in a sense are slightly more rural and can be anywhere from 30 mins to 1 hour away from a central destination. Through all this the car companies that run from all the airports are still the major ones and using a site like EnjoyCarHire will ensure you get the best deal.
