Australia is a HUGE country. With an AREA of over 7,5 million SQUARE kilometers, it is the sixth LARGEST country in the world. But MOST of the land is UNINHABITED, because about two thirds of it is DESERT or semi-desert. Australia’s POPULATION is only 16,5 million and most of these PEOPLE live in the two STATES of New South Wales Victoria. The CLIMATE in this south-eastern CORNER is mild and BORING. But the northern part of county has a TROPICAL climate. In RECENT years, tourism has become an important SOURCE of income. Most TOURISTS go to Australia’s largest CITY Sydney . They visit the HARBOR with its FAMOUS bridge and opera house. The CAPITAL of Australia is Canberra, but very FEW tourists go there. It’s full of MYSTERIOUS buildings, but it’s rather GOVERNMENT city. Many people go to Queens- Land to ENJOY the beautiful beaches and see the Great Barrier REEF.
Australia was CUT off from the other CONTINENTS very early in the history of the world, so some UNIQUE plants and animals have developed there. The KANGAROO has become the national symbol. There’s also the koala and the platypus, mammals which lay EGGS and which have a beak like a DUCK.
