Pursuing Solar Glory at the Australia Pavilion
The Australia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai is a must-visit destination for anyone attending the all-new World Expo. Located in the Connecting Lives zone, the pavilion is designed to resemble a eucalyptus blossom, symbolizing Australia, and is easily found on the official Expo map.

The Australia Pavilion features entertainment shows, including performances showcasing Indigenous Australian culture. Visitors can expect a multi-sensory exhibition, likely incorporating art, interactive displays, and cultural storytelling.
