Australia
Fact file:
Australia comprises a land area of 7 686 850 square kilometres. Its population is about
21,3 million people. Australia's capital is Canberra. The national language is English. The
official name of it is the Commonwealth of Australia. It's divided into six states and two
territories: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania,
Victoria, Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Northern Territory.
Symbols:
Australia had the British flag as their official flag until 1901, when the
Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Over 30 000 entries attracted the official
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...
