AUSTRALIA
Australia is the smallest, flattest, and driest
inhabited continent in the world. It is the only
country which is also a whole continent. 18.6
million people live here. The people of
Australia are called Australians. Australians
call different parts of their country by
different names. The Outback Is the sparsely
populated arid interior of Australia. The
Australian Outback is both harsh and
breathtakingly beautiful. It's like no other
place on earth. Coober Pedy, Uluru, etc are in
the Outback.

THE COUNTRY

• Is the area immediately outside
• the city and usually includes the
• surrounding smaller towns and
• farms. Most of what is called
• "the country" is a stretch of land
• about 200 kilometres deep
• around the eastern and southern
• seaboards of Australia. Upper
• Beaconsfield, the Great Ocean
• Road , the Dandenongs, etc are
• in "the country".

THE CITY

  the people live in cities. Melbourne, Sydney,

CULTURE

• Australia is very much a multi-cultural nation,
  having enjoyed waves of immigration starting with
  the Australian Aboriginals 40,000 years ago,
  followed by the English 200 years ago. Since the
  Second World War, Australia has received millions
  of migrants, with the population roughly tripling
  over a period of fifty years. However, although
  Australia is similar in size to the continental
  USA, its population is still only around 20
  million and is heavily concentrated in the major
  coastal cities central Australia is essentially
  a wildly beautiful but uninhabited desert.
• Much of the Australian life-style revolves
  around the outdoors and sport. Australians like
  to relax actively by bush-walking, skiing,
  surfing, sailing, swimming, or any other activity
  that takes them into the sun and open air.

A LITTLE HISTORY

• In 1836 Colonel William Light arrived at
  Holdfast Bay (now named Glenelg) to claim the
  region as a British colony. Adelaide was chosen
  for a capital, and the first Governor (Captain
  John Hindmarsh) named it after the King of
  Englands wife.
• The colony nearly went bankrupt, due to slow
  progress, but British funds saved it. By the mid
  1840's the colony was able to support itself, and
  was self-governed by 1856.

  feature of the Flinders Ranges is the Wilpena
  Pound,  an immense,  elevated basin covering
  about 50 square km and encircled by sheer cliffs.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

• South Australia, with it's huge
  semi-desert areas in the far Outback, is the
  driest out of all of the states and also the most
  urbanised. Adelaide, the capital, has been called
  'the city of churches' and is home to 80 of the
  regions population of roughly 1.47 million,
  living in 984,277 sq km.
• Although the churches are still
  in Adelaide, times are different now. The main
  spirit of the city is demonstrated through
  Adelaide's Festival of Arts. It has a liberal
  attitude and Maslin Beach was the first nudist
  beach.

  formations found in Western Australia. It is

  350km east of Perth.Wave Rock is a staggering 15
  metres high, and stands in the form of a wave
  just about to breakThere is also some fantastic
  Aboriginal rock paintings within the Mulka's
  Cave, and an interesting museum inside the
  caravan parks small kiosk

14
FOOD

• Australian cuisine has the most diverse range,
  quality, and inventiveness than many others in
  the world. However, it took Australia some time
  to evolve from the scenes of meat pies, Vegemite
  sandwiches, and sausage rolls to the scene of
  dishes such as "seared kangaroo fillet with
  wilted beetroot greens and roasted onions". The
  culinary art of Australia only luxuriated in the
  1990s

15
FOREST

•  Today in Australia, the rainforest and monsoon
  forest vegetation survive in a narrow broken band
  from the Kimberleys to Cape York Peninsula and
  down to Tasmania, encompassing a variety of
  forest types ranging from wet and dry tropical in
  the north through subtropical to wet cool
  temperate in the south.
• During the Ice Ages of the past two million
  years the rainforests contracted to areas even
  smaller than now, only to expand again when
  temperatures and rainfall increased. The
  surviving, relatively small refuge areas provide
  us today a unique record of the origin,
  evolution, and migration of Australian flora and
  fauna.

AVON VALLEY NATIONAL PARKS

• From summer to winter, from north to
  south, and from high outcrops to deep river and
  stream valleys, the forests of Avon Valley
  National Park are constantly changing. The Avon
  River flows in winter and spring when the river
  churns over spectacular rapids. During summer and
  autumn the river diminishes to a series of pools
  in a bed of granite boulders and tea-tree
  thickets. The park features forests and granite
  outcrops, panoramic views over the Avon Valley
  and the chance to see a wide variety of birds and
  wildlife.
