people timber and eucalyptus oil. Of 600 kinds of acacias the golden wattle, the national flower of Australia, is the best known. Australia has many other kinds of tree, and thousands of kinds of wild flowers too. Of other trees there grow bottle trees in the savannas, tree ferns in the tropical forests and many others. Fauna. The animal life of Australia is unique. The marsupials or pouched animals form the biggest group of animals in Australia. Most of the she-marsupials have pouches in which they carry their young. The kangaroo is one Australian animal that everybody knows.There are more than 50 species of kangaroo. They are furry animals that hop on their hind legs. The biggest are red kangaroos, grey kangaroos and euros. The smallest are thekangaroos that belong to the group called rat kangaroos. There are million of kangaroos in Australia. Another Australian marsupial is the wombat. It lives in burrows in grassland areas of Australia and Tasmania
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. The early settlers on the coast were suht in between the mountains and the sea. For years they couldn't make their way across the mountains. When they did, they found great streches of grassland. Some of the early settlers had been sheepmen in Britain. They saw that the grasslands would be a wonderful place for raising sheep
It is 600 million years old, and it is the largest rock of its kind in the world. Uluru is a sacred place for the Aborigines. Thanks to Australia's isolation, it has plants and animals unlike anywhere else in the world. The kangaroo is the most well-known of them. They have strong back legs and tails, allowing them to travel at high speeds and jump very high and far. The koalas live in eucalyptus trees, sleeping for 18 hours and drinking almost nothing. Both of those animals have pouches for their babies. Two very strange animals are the spiny anteater and the platypus. Their babies are born from eggs but drink milk from their mothers. There are more than 800 kinds of birds in Australia. The emu is a flightless bird. It is up to two metres tall and can run very fast. The first people to inhabit Australia were the ancestors of the Aborigines, who arrived over 40,000 years ago. The first Europeans to sight the Australian continent were the Dutch in 1606. They called

But when the dry leaves and branches fall down, then there is a lot of dry material and theat helps busfires to burn. Animals Scientists estimate that the continent is home to more that one million animal and plant species. Many of these are found nowhere else on the planet. Among these animals are kangaroos, wombats and koalas. They carry their babies in pouches. There are platypuses and tiny anteaters (echidnas)too, which are the only mammals in the worls that lay eggs. Among the birds are emus, lyrebirds and black swans. When a platypus specimen first reached to Europe people thought it was a fake, sewn together from birds and other animals. The platypus, the strangest of Australia's animals, is a living reminder of ancient, exctinct creatures. The best known animal that lives in Australia is the kangaroo ofcourse.
to another. The egg-laying mammals are the strangest of all the Australia's animals. They lay eggs like birds and feed their young with milk as mammals do. The platypus lives mostly in the rivers of East Australia. The female lays two eggs in a nest of leaves and grass at the end of a burrow in a river bank. When the young come out of eggs, they start licking up the milk that comes from the mother's stomach skin. Platypus gets its food mainly from the river. It has pouches in its cheeks where it can store food to eat later. It has a strong flat tail. It is a good swimmer. However, it can stay under water for a few minutes only and it shuts its eyes and ears first. The echidna is a small mammal that is covered with coarse hair and spines. They have snouts which have the functions of both the mouth and nose. They have very short, strong limbs with large claws and are powerful diggers. Echidnas have a tiny mouth and a toothless jaw

There are many kinds of different kangaroos of different size. They are famous for their hopping style and being the biggest marsupials around. Kangaroos congregate in groups up to ten to feed together. Mother and young stick together for years after the baby has left mama's pouch. They are born as small, bean-sized hairless babies that climb up into the safety of the pouch
