Australia's cities offer a warm, friendly and relaxed lifestyle with their festivals, hip urban enclaves and markets. They form the backdrop for iconic Australian events such as the Grand Prix, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and the Melbourne Cup. Australian cities come alive with the Australian passion for all manner of sport. There's also a host of uniquely Australian events happening in Australia's outback and along the coast like the Camel Cup and the Gama Festival in the Northern Territory and the open water Cooly Classic on the Gold Coast.
