Austraalias on väga levinud lamba kasvatus. Tüüpilised loomad on känguru, koaalad,opossumid ja nokkloomad. Suur Veelahkmeahelik Suur Veelahkmeahelik on Austraalia üks väheseid mägismaid, mis on kuiv, madal ja hõredalt asustatud, väljaarvatud idarannikul. Ahelik koosneb tegelikkuses mitmetest katkevatest ahelikest ja platoodest ja kulgeb piki Austraalia ida- ja kagurannikut 3600 kilomeetrit. Keskmiseks kõrguseks on 1200 meetrit, kõrgeim mägi, Kosciusko (2228 m), asub Kagu- Austraalias. Läbi terve aheliku varieerub maastik tugevalt. Cape York'ist põhjas on madalad mäed kaetud vihmametsadega. Edasi lõuna poole, 90 km Sidneyst läänes tõusevad liivakivist Sinimäed tasaste, metsaste kanjonite kohale. Veel edasi lõuna pool asuvad Lõuna-Alpid ehk Lumised Mäed , kus asuvad Austraalia ainsad üle 2000 meetrised mäed ja mis on tuntud oma suurte lumeväljade poolest. Mägedes elab üle 1000 hõimu, kes räägivad 700 erinevat keelt.

It is the flattest and (after Antarctica) the driest of continents, yet it has extremes of There are rainforests and vast plains in the north, snowfields in the south east, desert in the center and fertile croplands in the east, south and south west. About one third of the country lies in the tropics. Mountain ranges run from north to south along the east coast, reaching their highest point in Mount Kosciusko (2,228 m). The western half of the continent is occupied by a desert plateau that rises into barren, rolling hills near the west coast. Mount Kosciusko Climate Australia is warm and dry.

The Western Plateau consists of tablelands and some mountains of denudation. Most of the rocks have turned into sand. There are big sand deserts on the Western Plateau; the Great Desert and the Victoria Desert. In central Australia there are lowlands, covered with sedimentary rocks (settekivimid). The Great Dividing Range runs along the Pacific coast. The mountains are old and worn down. The Australian Alps are the highest of them. The highest top of Australia is Mount Kosciusko (2,2 km above sea level). Australian rocks are rich in gold, polymetallic ores, iron ore, copper, uranium. Much coal is mined in the sedimentary rocks of south-east. The greatest attraction in the Northern Territory is Uluru. It is a huge monolith rock, 862 metres above the sea level, rising out of the desert. The local Aborigines regarded it as a sacred site. No one is sure when the first Aborigines moved into the area but the best evidence suggests that it was at least 10000 years ago

Of course, the Great Dividing Range that runs along the Pacific Coast is a tourist must. In addition, the largest outback town Alice Springs is a sure must also.
