Australia, as a western-style nation has similar transportation methods to the US. Vast distances must be traveled between capital cities so there is an extensive road system. Many goods are moved by truck - semitrailer and by air. Air or road travel is the usual way for people to move between places. The nation has a rail system, although this has declined over the years for freight or inter-city travel purposes. Also, there are ports in the major centers. In capital cities, the usual western modes of transport exist - rail, tram, cars, ferries. Each capital has its own combinations that best suit it - Sydney has ferries and hydrofoils to take commuters across the port that divides the city and Melbourne is known for its tram system.
