The sixth largest country in the world, with 7,617,930 square kilometres, is also a big unknown. Besides having the Great Barrier Reef, Australia is one of the most developed and wealthy countries (in terms of wealth, in 2013 Australia took up the second place in the world ranking after Switzerland). Its quality of life and its health and education systems make this nation one of the most perfect places to live.

The best known part of the Australian history better known started in 1788, when the British colony was established. The first of January, 1901, the six states (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia) along with the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory formed the Commonwealth of Australia.

Remembrance Sunday and Poppy Day

Next Tuesday will be a day to remember and to honor all the members of the army who have died while they were in duty. The Poppy Day. 

And we celebrate it this exactly day to make it coincides with the end of the confrontation of World War I at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month on 1918. After six hours, the armistice was signed in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne, France. With the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the 28th of June of 1919, the War was officially ended.

On the Remembrance Sunday, United Kingdom celebrates two minutes of silence. This period start and end with the firing of an artillery piece. In London, some of the main commemoration points will be held in Whitehall, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Big Ben.
