Pompeii lied directly under Mt. Vesuvius (an extremely active volcano that still exists)
On the 24th of August 79AD Mt Vesuvius erupted. There had however been several warnings.
There was plenty of warnings that Mt. Vesuvius would erupt. That's why so many people actually escaped. There were earth tremors and small quakes for weeks before and the water sources were drying up. The smart ones read the signs and got out.

We don't know the population of Pompeii, so any estimation of the deaths or the escapees is pure guess work, not solid fact.We don't know how many people escaped Pompeii before the eruption.

They don't. That's right, people don't live in Pompeii any more. The better question here is: How "did" people make a living in Pompeii.
Pompeii doesn't have any importance to Australia, except for people who are archaeologists and interested in travelling over there.
yes
The 79 CE eruption befell the same fate on Pompeii's neighbouring town of Herculaneum.
The so called dog of Pompeii was a mosaic with a dog on it and said "cave canem," beware of the dog
The social classes in Pompeii were the same as in any other city in the Roman empire. laves, freedmen, equestrians, and the elite.
There must have been barns in the outskirts of the town and in the surrounding countryside. Pompeii was in a very fertile area and agriculture was thriving.
Yes it was, in fact, in 79 AD Pompeii was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius.
