If you enjoy the relaxed, outdoor way lifestyle of Australia but seek to add a dash of island tropics to the mix, you may be pleasantly surprised to find that there are actually several parallels between Hawaii and Australia.  Both are characterized by an easygoing way of life, punctuated by a universal love of the outdoors and nature.  Each location features strategically located major cities that allow residents and visitors alike to easily access the exciting cultural offerings of city life; Australia has Sydney, Auckland and Wellington, while thousands of visitors to Hawaii annually converge on Honolulu.

Climate and Geography

 

The climate in Australia tends to vary throughout the year due to its location on the Pacific Rim, and average annual temperatures range from 28 on down to 4 degrees Celsius.  It is important to note that the seasons in Australia are opposite those of the United States, with July being the height of the winter months while December through February mark the summer months and warmest temperatures.  Conversely, Hawaii enjoys a tropical climate year-round with reasonably stable temperatures of about 75-80 degrees.  Balmy east-west breezes and periodic rain caress the islands, adding a temperate accent to daily life.
Hawaii and Australia share a rich, widely varied tropical topography.  In Australia, depending on the region, the elements of Mother Nature range from snow (southeast) and  rain forests (north) to meadow-like fields (south), and a desert-like  environment (center).  Conversely, Hawaii maintains a worldwide reputation for its pristine white beaches lining crystal-clear blue waters, which have proven irresistible to visitors and residents alike for years.  Magnificent mountain ranges and wild, beautiful terrain beckon, inviting further exploration.

History and Culture

 

Over the past 200 years Hawaii has evolved into a melting pot of a rich blend of ethnic groups with deep traditions of which they are deservedly proud.  Each island possesses its own individual character and culture, and preserving those origins is both a passion and a priority.  Support for development, growth and enhanced awareness of Hawaiian cultural heritage is prevalent through such organizations and institutions as The Bernice P. Bishop Museum and The Honolulu Academy of Arts.   Dance (let us not forget the hula, which originated in Hawaii) and music are especially popular, and are often skillfully combined to form a fusion of classic, contemporary and progressive artistic expression. 

Lifestyle

 

Individuals and families seeking real estate in Hawaii needn’t feel homesick for their country of birth, as they’ll discover to their delight that the Hawaiian people as well share their love and appreciation for the natural world and its gifts.  Hawaii has two national parks - Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (Hawaii), and Haleakala National (Maui), not to mention many natural preserves, local parks and historic sites, including the poignant U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, frequented by thousands of visitors per year.

A passion for water sports and recreation goes hand in hand with Hawaii; surfing, waterskiing, snorkeling and diving are all an integral part of daily life.  Hawaii boasts some of the most exquisite beaches in the world including Kailua Beach, the North Shore and Waikiki Beach, a spectacular two-mile stretch of paradise that annually plays host to many talented surfers.
