Austria is relatively small country located in the middle of Europe! Thanks to souvenirs shops in Innsbruck I found out that there are some people, who mistake Austria with Australia. Quite interesting in todays world but OK.
The population about 8,85 mln and area of 84000 km² gives about 105 people per 1 km². In Australia it is 3,3 people per 1 km² (pleople have to use helicopters to get to the other side of their farm by the way).
When it comes to climat, the average temperature in Austria is about 9,9 °C, while in Australia it is 25,0 °C.
There are absolutely NO SIMILARITIES, except from the name maybe.
Austria is divided into 9 provinces, each one is specific for different reason.
Vienna - the capital city of Austria. Is considered as one of the best cities to live in.
Styria - region rich in iron deposits.
Upper Austria - mostly covered by forests and farms.
Salzburg - mountain region, also associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there.
Tyrol - the homeland of winter sports. While visiting it, you should remember, that you are in Tyrol, not in Austria.
Carinthia - landscape with a lot of lakes and rivers.
Lower Austria - the largest province, surrounded by rivers.
Vorarlberg - the most industrialized region. People from Tyrol use to say to their children, that they will be sent to work in Vorarlberg if they don't behave properly.
Burgenland - the flattest province of Austria. Used to be a part of Hungary.
