Australia
They came to
Australia from Indonesia. Aborigines were nomads. They like to be called the
indigenous Australians. The white people discovered Australia much, much later.
Now there are almost 20 million Australians, but more than half of the continent is
almost empty. Most of the people live in one sixth of the country. They live mostly in
south-east, south and south-western corner of the continent because in these parts soil
and climate, and above all rainfall, have been more kind to graziers and farmers.
Of every ten Australians, five live in capital cities, two in other towns and
three on farms and stations. This remarkable concentration of people in town and city
may seem surprising in view of the great importance of wool, wheat, meat, butter and
fruit production. But mechanised farming enables great areas to be made productive
by the work of quite few people. Tourism is very important in Australia.
Australia Day is the most important holiday
