Aussies are famous for the laid back attitude and their fun loving spirits however, did you ever think about why it is that they have this type of reputation? Well, honestly you may very well uncover that the roots of this spirit lie deep with in the history of the region its self.

Certainly, it seems that when you think of Australia, from any other country across the world you think about the regions of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, which are in fact the three biggest cities in the country. Looking at a map, however, the capital of Australia is situated somewhere in between Sydney and Melbourne due to the fact that both wanted to be the capital city yet it was determined that neither was suitable, in the eyes of the government, simply because both cities had an association with the criminal population.

As a matter of fact, even though Sydney was Australia's very first and largest city it was also often known as Sin City on account of its associations with convicts and since Melbourne was established by a son of a criminal neither was take into consideration as an option for the capital of Australia. Canberra was agreed upon on account of its convict free reputation as well as for its location in the middle of these two much larger cities.

The island state of Tasmania is not bettering the reputation of Australia as it is known as the world's biggest supplier of opium associated goods. The government maintains intense control over the processing and harvesting of opiates and because this is an island state, it is kept away from the general population.

Of course, it is easy to see how the majority of this region has received a reputation for their partying and relaxed way of life. Beaches, alcohol, drugs and convicts make for a very free lifestyle, although these are just a few fun and fascinating things to learn about the region. It is in actuality the perfect vacation destination if you are searching for a great time and if you feel badly about the adverse influences in this region you can always pay a visit to Adelaide, which is a much more family oriented city. This city has never accepted convicts and is well known for its elaborate churches, so you can always stop in and say a prayer if you feel the need for balance on your Aussie vacation. Although, enjoying the beach, the sun and the fun does not mean that you need to join in anything illegal or against your morals.
