One of the only things I knew about australia are that there is very warm and there are a lot of kangaroos. In Australia the appearance of people is very formal. Men wear dark business suit and a tie, women may wear a dress or a scirt and blouse. For casual clothing there are pants for both men and women. Australians are friendly and open, but directness and punctuality is very important. They maintain good eye contact during conversations. They bring small gift of chocolate, wine or flowers if invited to someone's home, but gift giving is not very common in bussiness. They avoid littering and when approaching a queue, they go to the end and wait their turn. Australians shake hands when meeting and when leaving and some women may greet each other wit a kiss on the cheek. Opinions are respected in Australia

The general term for native Australian flora and fauna used as a source of food is bush tucker. The wine regions in each of these states produce different wine varieties and styles that take advantage of local climates and soil types. The predominant varieties are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon,

The Blue Mountains, on the southeastern end of Australia, get their name from the blue haze caused by oil droplets given off from the eucalyptus trees. Geographic Landmarks As an island, Australia also has many beautiful coastal beaches. Over 70% of Australians now live in cities or towns. Most of this population lives in the eastern and southern coasts, and around Perth in the west.

tropical and temperate forest. 70% of the Australian mainland is classified as desert which is mainly located in the centre of Australia what explains now the population. When you visit Australia, there aren't many expressions you'll hear more often than "no worries, mate".They are very laid-back, irreverent, funny and happy people. Maybe it's all the sunshine, the miles of beaches, or the pristine nature, or the excellent quality of life but nothing seems to worry them. Australians always greet people with the proverbial "how are you?" and expect a response similar to "good, thank you" which is the way of saying hello. In Estonia it's just a simple and sincere "hello". If you ask that people are assuming the question was about how they feel or how their life is. All in all, Estonians and Australians show much different styles of behaviour but also many similarities of respectful and happy environment. There is also many nature-related love in both people, Estonia's

competition. Five of them, which contained almost identical designs, were placed equally first. The Australian flag symbolises Australia's historical links with Britain, because it has British flag on it, and Australia's location in the southern hemisphere, because it has stars of the Southern Cross on it. The large seven-pointed star represents the six original states and the territories of Commonwealth. There is also the Indigenous Australian flag, which represents the Aboriginal Australians. The flag with its colours of red (representing the land), black (representing the people) and the yellow in the middle (representing the sun) is a source of pride for Indigenous Australians. The present coat of arms was granted by King George V in 1912. It consists of a shield containing the badges of six Australian states, enclosed by an ermine border. The shield is a symbol for the federation of the states, which took place in 1901. The crest, which is
But their tribes had very well-worked- out customs. A few aborigines still live in the emptier part of the continent. In 1770, the British explorer Captain Cook raised the British flag. Cook found there a pleasant climate and beautiful forests. The British initially used Australia as a gigantic prison camp for convicts from Britain. Then other people from Britain began to settle there as well. The Aborigines were cruelly suppressed, and it is only recently that white Australians have begun to acknowledge Aborigines' rights to their sacred lands. Population and people. In 1901, all the separate parts of Australia united into one country. Many of the people, who came to Australia to find gold, stayed there on to other kinds of work. They found that Australia has other riches such as coal, copper, iron, lead. The forests have much good timber. People were needed to buy and sell what was raised. Cities grew. But even today the big country is far from crowded

Females are much smaller than males, with typical female body lengths in the range of 2.53 metres. Many plant and animal species became extinct soon after human settlement, including the Australian megafauna; others have become extinct since European settlement. 7. Population There are about 20 million Australians but more than 50 per cent of the country is practically empty. Nearly all Australians live in the southeast of the continent and in the southwestern part of Western Australia. In these parts the soil and climate is suitable for farming. 50% of Australians live in the biggest cities, 20% in other towns and 30% in farms and stations. 98% of Australians are of British descent but people from other parts of the world have emigrated to Australia
word for friend). `God Save the Queen' was the anthem before it. It was first performed in Sydney on Saint Andrew's Day, 1878. Peter McCormick died in 1916 and `Advance Australia Fair' became free of copyright in 1966. Some of the original words of the song have been changed for the official version. On specifically Royal occasions, both `Advance Australia Fair' and `God Save the Queen' are played. The second choice for the anthem was `Waltzing Matilda'. It is still a famous song and Australians like that song and they sing it. Government and Head of State.

History Two hundred years ago, there were no white men in Australia, except the dark-skinned native Australians, called the Aborigines. Their only weapons were stone knives, simple spears and boomerangs. They raised no crops and had no herds. For food, they hunted and fished and gathered wild fruits and nuts. But their had very well-worked-out customs. A few Aborigines still live in the emptier part of the continent and follow the thousands-of-years-old customs of their ancestors.
The Colonization of Australia The British initially used it as a gigantic prison camp for convicts from Britain. Altogether 160 000 men, women and children were deported from Britain to Australia, where they led a very hard life. At the beginning of the19th century free settlers began to arrive from Britain in large numbers since it offered many stimulating opportunities. The Aborigines were cruelly suppressed, and it is only recently that white Australians have begun to acknowlege Aborigines' rights to their sacred lands. The settlers soon discovered that many of the animals as well as the plants of Australia were unlike those that were found anywhere else. Among te animals were kangaroos and wombats and koalas. They carry their babies in pouches. There were platypuses and spiny anteaters, too the only mammals in the world that lay eggs. Among the strange birds were emus, lyrebirds, and black swans.

There is very little extremely cold regions in Australia. Summer last from December to February. Histor y. Human habitation of Australia is estimated to have begun between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago, possibly with the migration of people by land bridges and short seacrossings from what is now Southeast Asia. These first inhabitants may have been ancestors of modern Indigenous Australians. At the time of European settlement in the late 18th century, most Indigenous Australians were hunter gatherers, with a complex oral culture and spiritual values based on reverence for the land and a belief in the Dreamtime. The Torres Strait Islanders, ethnically Melanesian, were originally horticulturalists and huntergatherers. Celebrity from Australia Gillian Armstrong director,producer Kimberly Davis model
discomfort over a period of several days. The name tarantula comes from the town of Taranto in Southern Italy and was originally used for an unrelated species of European wolf spider. The name was borrowed to apply to the Theraphosids when Europeans explored areas where these large spiders were common. In Africa, Theraphosids are frequently referred to as "baboon spiders". Asian forms are known as "earth tigers" or "bird eating spiders". Australians refer to their species as "barking spiders", "whistling spiders", or "bird spiders". People in other parts of the world also apply the general name "mygales" to Theraphosid spiders.

I have heard that there is a weird and wonderful musical instrument called a didgeridoo. Did you saw it? How it looks? And how they play it? I'll like if you will talk to me about it. It seems a very interesting instrument. Australins have a strong sense of humour and I have read that they will tell anti-English jokes to the English, anti-lawyer jokes to the lawyers and anti- mother-in-law jokes to mothers-in-law. Is is true? Did Australians laugh about you? They are very easy-going by nature. They put a high value on their leisure time. I hope that when I go to Australia, I will see kangaroos and koalas. I have seen they only in Zoo, not in nature. Did you see any animals in nature? Do you know that the cutest animal spends 80% of its time asleep in eucalyptus tree? I didn't know it before.

Its capital is Hobart, which is a fine Georgian city. Tasmania became the most popular settling region for Europeans due to favorable climate to them. There is also the Northern Territory, but it has a special status being under the authority of the central government of the Commonwealth. The capital is not Sydney or Melbourne like many people think, but Canberra, which is situated just between those two. Canberra was chosen as the capital of Australia because Australians could not decide which to choose as the capital, either Melbourne or Sydney. So, Canberra was chosen instead as a fair end to a long fight. The population in Australia is very high compared with Estonia as there are about 21 million people living there. The most populous city is Sydney with 4.2 million people. Only about 320000 people live in Canberra, but it is still said to be a tourist must.

Conclusion – page 10-11 Resources – page 11 Appendix – page 11-14 2 Introduction I selected this theme because it was the most interesting one for me. Aborigines have interested me for a long time now so doing this essay is really fun for me. Australian Aboriginal culture is one of the world's longest surviving cultures. Australian Aborigines, also known as Indigenous Australians , are the native people of Australia . Many of them suffered when white people from Britain arrived in Australia, because of disease, the loss of their hunting lands, and unfair laws. Australian Aborigines are those people regarded as indigenous to the Australian continent. In the High Court of Australia, Australian Aborigines have been specifically identified as a group of people who share, in common, biological ancestry back to the original occupants of the continent. History
