Major Tourist Attractions - Victoria Falls (Livingstone). Zambian tourism has reaped the benefits of looney Mr Mugabe's policies. Livingstone was once a quiet little town, almost irrelevant compared to the Zimbawean town of Victoria Falls which used to bustle with tourists. Now many of them stay on the Zambian side which actually offers a better view of the falls anyway.

Australia does not have a consulate or embassy in Zambia however the Australian Embassy in Zimbabwe provides consular assistance to Australians in Zambia.
