Welcome To Kairs Tours and Travels.

Australia

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometre.

FESTIVALS
Australians are a nation of festival-goers, always keen to celebrate the nation's comedy and arts, food and wine, music and culture, sport and heritage. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra each boast major arts festivals which spotlight the best in dance, jazz, theatre, opera.

SPORTS
Australians are among the most enthusiastic of participants and spectators in sport. Whether it's a casual game of beach volleyball, the emotion of an Aussie Rules football match or the excitement of the racecourse on Melbourne Cup Day, there is always an opportunity to join in the fun.

PERFORMING ART
A vigorous and innovative landscape of performing arts covers the length and breadth of Australia. Nurtured in schools, Australian performing artists have the world as their stage, particularly in cinema. Indigenous music and dance, ballet, theatre, opera and rock 'n' roll all have their pride of place

EXHIBITIONS & SHOWS
Australia hosts many international exhibitions and trade shows every year, in a wide range of industries from medical to manufacturing, agriculture to leisure. Attending an international trade show as an exhibitor or a buyer could provide the perfect opportunity to visit Australia.

CLAP STICKS
Clap sticks are the traditional percussion instrument of Aboriginal people and provide accompaniment for ceremonial song and dance. They consist of two sticks crafted from various woods and are played by striking one against the other to provide rhythm. One stick can also be beaten against another object such as the ground or a tree for a different sound. Used mainly during corroborees (gatherings) and social dancing, they are often the only instruments used to accompany singing. Played by both men and women, genuine clap sticks are widely available in traditional carved or painted styles.

WEAVING
Aboriginal weaving, known as 'buyu', has been practised for thousands of years and continues to use traditional designs and materials. Traditional woven items include dugout canoe sails, fishing nets, rope, fishing traps, string sculptures, ceremonial basketry and feather work, and contemporary items like woven floor rugs and basketry are also widely available. These items can be found throughout Australia from retail outlets to regional communities.

Buyer Information
While most traditional art is available online as well as at authorised outlets, authenticity is perhaps the most critical issue facing the industry. Without authentication from a reputable supplier, art purchased now may not appreciate in value in years to come. The National Indigenous Arts Advocacy Association Inc. represents and protects the rights of Indigenous people and ensures that you are buying the genuine product.

Bark Paintings
Part of the world's oldest continuous painting tradition, bark paintings generally depict native plants, animals or natural phenomena significant to Aboriginal culture. The bark used is from a tree species called Darwin stringy-bark, or eucalyptus tetrodonta. Most artists mix their own palettes from red, yellow and white oxides and ochres, to produce a dazzling range of greens, blues and mauves. The particular arrangement of colours is the trademark of each individual artist. Bark paintings are generally reasonably priced.

Beaches galore
Australia boasts over 7,000 beaches - more than any other nation.
