Australia is known as 'Down Under' by locals and tourists alike. But where does this name actually come from? If you look at the world map, you will notice that Australia is located at the end of the world or 'below' the northern hemisphere, where most of the world's large land masses and populations live. 'Down Under' is therefore an allusion to the geographical location of Australia and New Zealand in comparison to other parts of the world. Although many people think that Sydney or Melbourne is the capital of Australia, it is actually Canberra. The metropolis is often overshadowed by other well-known cities. Nevertheless, it impresses with its very own atmosphere and a multitude of sights.
