Australian nature
· Australian nature is extremely diverse and interesting. It's the driest
inhabited continent, only its south-east and south-west corners have
a temperate climate.
· The climate of Australia is significantly influenced by ocean currents,
which is correlated with periodic drought, and produces cyclones in
northern Australia.
· Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical summer
rainfall (monsoon) climate. The southwest corner of the country has
a Mediterranean climate. Much of the southeast is temperate.
· Climate change has become an increasing concern in Australia in
recent years, with many Australians considering protection of the
environment to be the most important issue facing the country.
Australian nature
· Eastern Australia is marked by the Great Dividing Range and
it consists of low hills and the highlands are typically no more
than 1,600 metres. There are large areas of grassland.
· The landscapes of the northern part of the country, with their
tropical climate, consist of woodland, grassland and desert.
· At the northwest corner of the continent is the sandstone cliffs
and gorges of The Kimberley
· Australia has the longest coral reef - The Great Barrier Reef.
· At 2,228 metres Mount Kosciuszko on the Great Dividing
Range is the highest mountain on the Australian mainland.

Australian animals
· Although most of Australia is semi-arid or desert, it includes a
diverse range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical
rainforests.
· The wildlife in Australia has evolved in isolation and so has a
unique and individual appearance. This also means that the
animals have adapted well to the varying and often harsh
climatic differences around Australia.
· About 85% of flowering plants, 84% of mammals, more than
45% of birds, and 89% of in-shore, temperate-zone fish are
endemic. Australia has the greatest number of reptiles of any
country, with 755 species.
Australian animals
· Many plant and animal species became extinct soon after first
human settlement.
· Australia is home to many dangerous animals including some
of the most venomous snakes in the world.
· Animal lovers will enjoy the interactivity of dolphins, the
majestic Whales, the beautiful Koalas and the unique
Kangaroo, not to mention, wombats, dingos, Tasmanian
Devils and so many other wonderful animals.

New South Wales.
· In 2010, Sydney was ranked 28th globally for economic innovation, Sydney
also ranks among the top 10 most livable cities in the world.
· Two easily recognizable landmarks which often depict Australia rather than
just Sydney are the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.
· Sydney has a reputation as an international centre for commerce, arts,
fashion, culture, entertainment, music, education and tourism.

has many natural areas, even in the city centre. Within the CBD are the
Chinese Garden of Friendship, Hyde Park, The Domain and the Royal
Botanic Gardens. The metropolitan area contains several national parks,
including the Royal National Park, the second oldest national park in the
world
Australian cities - Canberra
· Canberra was pre-planned and then built in the 20th
century as the new home to Australia's capital city in
response to the rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney,
which both competed for this title.
· Canberra employs more gardeners and landscape artists of
any city in the world per head of population.
· Canberra has the usual attractions of any capital city such
as Parliament House, the High Court, and numerous
government departments and agencies. The city is also the
location of many social and cultural institutions of national
significance. Included are the Australian War Memorial,
National Library of Australia, National Gallery of Australia,
and the National Museum of Australia.
Australian cities - Melbourne
· Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and the largest city and
capital of the state of Victoria. Melbourne is consistently ranked in the top
three of the most liveable cities in the world.
· There are approximately 60 cultural groups speaking 170 languages,
giving this City its unique character.
· Melbourne's standing as the cultural capital of Australia is recognised due
to its many film and food festivals, art exhibitions, and musicals. The city is
also famous for events such as the Australian Grand Prix to the beautiful
floral displays of the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
The climate has a reputation for being unpredictable and liable to
extremes - very hot to very cold and often both on the same day.

Australia

Australia Australia is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent, yet also the smallest and the driest of all the continents. It's almost the same size as continental USA, being the sixth largest country in the world. It's also the oldest ­ some of the rocks are more than 3,000 million years old. Australia is often called `Down Under', because it lies in the Southern Hemisphere. As a result, its seasons are the opposite of ours. Australia, Tasmania and a number of smaller islands form the Commonwealth of Australia. Because of the country's great size, the climate in Australia ranges from tropical regions of the Northern Territory to the cool temperate conditions in the southeast and Tasmania, where it often snows in winter. In the north, half the year is `wet' and half is `dry'. From November to April heavy rain fills the rivers and makes enormous lakes where thousands of birds come for the summer. From
