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. They knew that wool stands shipping well. They knew, too, that it is worth enough to pay for shipping it long distances. Many started sheep farms. Before long Australia became the greatest wool-producing country in the world. In some cases cattle were raised on the grassland instead of sheep. But beef and butter are not as easy to ship as wool.
The Canadian Horse is an official Canadian symbol [1] [2] and commonly appears in images with the Mounties. Products made from the country's natural resources, such as maple syrup, are also associated with Canadian identity. In recent years, other symbols have become a source of pride: notably, the I Am Canadian campaign by Molson beer, most notably the commercial featuring Joe Canadian, infused home-grown beer with nationalism. 14. Conclusion Though Canada streches far north, people must not think about it as a cold and liveless country, as it offerst so much diversity in landforms, culture and climate. One should never forget how important resources this country has : from fresh water to grain, from uranium to gas. 15.
