Australia is a stable, culturally diverse and democratic society with a skilled workforce and a strong, competitive economy. It is one of the world’s oldest landmasses and has been populated by human beings for an estimated 60, 000 years. The Native Australians, or Aborigines, have lived in Australia for at least 40,000 years. Australia is still part of the British commonwealth.
Australia has 10 per cent of the world’s biodiversity and a great number of its native plants, animals and birds exist nowhere else in the world.
Australia is the only nation
to govern an entire
continent. It is the earth’s
biggest island and the
sixth-largest country in the
world in land area. As an island, Australia also has many beautiful coastal beaches.
Over 70% of Australians now
live in cities or towns. Most
of this population lives in
the eastern and southern
coasts, and around Perth in
the west.
Australia’s population includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and migrants from some 200 countries. In almost 60 years of planned post-war migration, Australia has welcomed more than 6.5 million migrants, including more than 660 000 refugees.
Migrants have brought with
them language skills and
other capabilities that are
valuable in today’s global
economy and workforce.
English is the
official language in
Australia.
Australia’s economy is open
and innovative.
Australian exports are a mix
of traditional commodities,
services and advanced
manufacturing.
Australia’s aid program aims to help people in developing countries to lift themselves out of poverty and responds quickly when disaster strikes.
In international surveys
several Australian cities
have been rated as the
top desirable venues for
business travel. These cities
include Adelaide,
Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne
and Sydney. The
surveys take into
account cost-related and
environmental factors.
Australia has a
well-developed education
system with participation
rates among the highest in
the world. Each year,
Australia welcomes an
increasing number of
international students.
The quality of life enjoyed by people in Australia is one of the highest in the world. Australia’s clean physical environment, health services, education and lifestyle combine to make it an attractive place to live. .
Australia is a robust
democracy. Its system of government reflects the British and North American models of liberal democracy, but has unique Australian
features.
Australia is home to many
animals not found anywhere
else in the world. These
include the kangaroos and the
koala.
Off the northeast coast of
Australia is the Great
Barrier Reef. The Great
Barrier Reef is over 1,200
miles of coral. It has
developed over the last
million years, and is now the
largest living structure in
the world. It is home to many
sharks and thousands of
different types of tropical
fish.
Australia's major industries
are mining and farming.
Mining includes bauxite,
coal, copper, gold and iron
ore. Most of the land is too
dry for planting crops,
although some areas do grow
sugarcane, grapes and wheat.
The grape vineyards help to
support a growing wine
industry. Australia is
probably best known for its
sheep farming. Large numbers
of sheep are raised for their
wool and meat. There is also
some cattle ranching to
provide meat.
Much of Australia has a
continental climate. The
temperatures get hot during
the day, then drop
considerably at night.
Australia is also very arid,
getting very little rain.
