Many tourist as well as explorers and adventurers heed to Australia to get benefited by the country’s rich biodiversity that has some of the world’s rarest creatures, most diverse climates and plant species that are all found on one county, a continent – Australia.

Australia sees thousands of explorers each year, in quest to experience the biodiversity and explore the rich flora and fauna of the country. Every day many direct indirect, cheap flights to Australia operate on hourly basis from all major airports in the world. These flights start selling usually from a very low price, to facilitate the students, migrants and some explorers; after the very limited seats on low fares are sold there is the second roll of fares that gets selling mostly bought by the tourists, average budget people and lastly when every thing else is sold out, the highest fares and business class deals are the only thing you can find in store. So the point is, “the sooner the better”, if you are a student, teacher or average travelers its good to get cheap flights to Australia at the cheapest fares that sell at least 3-6 months prior departure dates.

Apart from the cheap accommodation facilitates, student and backpackers hotels or hostels and the affordability of the attractions like Bondi beach, one thing that draws many travelers to this rich land is the exploration of the Flora and Fauna of Australia. The animals, which are the identity of the country such as Kangaroos, Ostrich, Tasmanian devil, Koalas and Penguins successfully, grasp most of our attention. Yet the variety in climate and diversity in land makes Australia a one of its kind destination for exploring the plant kingdom too.

The flora of Australia comprises a vast assemblage of plant species estimated to over 20,000 vascular and 14,000 non-vascular plants, 250,000 species of fungi and over 3,000 lichens. Prominent features of the Australian flora are adaptations to aridity and fire which include scleromorphy and serotiny. These adaptations are common in species from the large and well-known families Proteaceae (Banksia), Myrtaceae (Eucalyptus – gum trees), and Fabaceae (Acacia – wattle). What makes Australian plant kingdom different from the rest of the world, bestowing it with the abundance in rare animals is the SECRET of varieties of herbs, grass and plants that make the country a safe refuge for the herbivores like Kangaroos and Koalas.

In the prehistoric times this biodiversity had been affected adversely by the settlement of Australia by Indigenous Australians more than 61,000 years. According to a native archeologist, The use of fire-stick farming by the Aborigines led to significant changes in the distribution of plant species over time, and the large-scale modification or destruction of vegetation for agriculture and urban development since 1788 has altered the composition of most terrestrial ecosystems, leading to the extinction of 61 plant species and endangering over 1000 more. “Fire-stick farming” means the practice of Indigenous Australians where fire was used regularly to burn vegetation to facilitate hunting and to change the composition of plant and animal species in an area. This hunting technique had the long-term effect of turning scrub into grassland, increasing the population of nonspecific grass eating species like the kangaroo. Also, the ecological disturbance caused by fire-stick farming is one theory behind the extinction of Australian mega fauna.

Today some of the Invasive species are a serious threat to the native biodiversity of Australia and are an ongoing cost to Australian agriculture. However, with the passage of time the Australian Environmental association is developing techniques and methods to save the country’s flora and fauna, the identity that makes Australia what it is today, a sanctuary for animals, a fortification for plants and a heaven for the tourists.
