Such an amazing story: 'Man drives from the Netherlands to Darwin in 800 days with an electric car'.

Wiebe Wakker set out on the global trip from The Netherlands to Australia in 2016 with a dual purpose: see the world and dispel myths about the reliability of electric cars in the process.

The car, dubbed 'The Blue Bandit', can drive 200 kilometers before it runs out of power. "There are a lot of prejudices about electric cars, they think they're not reliable or that you cannot go for long distances. If I can prove that I can drive from Holland to the other side of the world, then why should we not be able to take it to the shops or to the bottle-o?"

Would you dare to make this journey to the other side of the world?

Photos from Australian Embassy in the Netherlands's post

It is said that Australia represents the “New World” and Europe the "Old World”. But it is not widely appreciated that Australia is home to the oldest living continuous culture in the world. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures date back over 60,000 years.

With waves of migration since British colonisation in the late 18th Century to the present, contemporary Australia a very diverse and cohesive society. Indra McCormick, Deputy Head of Mission, gave a lecture on multiculturalism in Australia to international students from The Hague University of Applied Sciences.

Today is World Bee Day! A annual day originally nominated in Europe to celebrate honey bees (Apis mellifera). So it should actually have been named 'World Apis mellifera Day', because as we all know there are more than 20,000 bee species in the world. But given that it is called world bee day, let's celebrate them all! Australia has 1629 formally described bee species, and it's estimated that the total number is about 2000 (based on the rate of new discoveries). To celebrate the day, here is a bee from our largest-sized group of bees, Xylocopa, and one from our smallest-sized group, Euryglossina. The smallest bee in the whole world is a Euryglossina species, and it is only know from Queensland! #WorldBeeDay #bees #australia #Queensland #QLD ... See more
