Australia

Yes, that's the generally accepted term (and the locals won't take offence at it.) Perth is basically a beach between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Escarpment, with most houses built on a sandy soil rather than clay or bedrock.

they have not necessarily had a large influence on modern day Australia's identity, though it is reasonable to say that modern day Australia's identity has a link to anti-authoritarianism, and this is where it may have come from. penis haha

Australia is such a beautiful country because of its oceans and its animals and its culture. There are so many things amazing about Australia.

Australia is beautiful no matter what. And I am surprised that noone answered this until I did.

Wombats have few natural predators. The wombat's main predator is the dingo, but introduced species like dogs, cats and foxes can also hunt them for food. Young wombats which are still vulnerable and only just emerging from the pouch may be taken by birds of prey such as wedge-tailed eagles.

In Tasmania, Australia's southern state, Tasmanian devils will prey on smaller wombats, and they have been known to feed off the carcass of a wombat.

Aborigines also hunted wombats for food.

Cathy freeman has made a contribution to Australians Identity in many ways including the fact that she has won quite a few medals

and she has helped the indigenous generation of Australia to become athletes and to believe in their dreams.

She also served as a role model to her people for various acts of courage involving the white people. Such as when she won a medal and ran her lap of honour carrying the aboriginal flag and the Australian flag, this was seen as a new thing and wasn't approved but the crowd loved her ability to ignore them and do it again

Coal mining in Australia occurs in a number of places in the eastern half of the country, and Australia is the world's fifth largest coal producer.

In New South Wales where, together with Queensland, about 96% of Australia's coal is mined, black coal can be found near the eastern and western edges of the Sydney-Gunnedah Basin; in the Wollongong-Appin-Bulli area; Lithgow-Mudgee area; along the Hunter Valley from Newcastle in the south to Muswellbrook in the north; Yarrawonga (near Gunnedah); Appin; and Tahmoor.

In Queensland, the coal product occurs mainly at Goonyella and Kestrel in the Bowen Basin, which extends south from Collinsville to beyond Blackwater and Moura; the Callide Basin; the Surat and Moreton Basins between Wandoan and Millmerran; Wilkie Creek; New Acland; Newlands; Rolleston; Commodore; Jellinbah East; and Coppabella.

Other important black coal mines include Muja and Premier in Western Australia); Leigh Creek in South Australia; and Duncan in Tasmania.

Victoria is the only state that produces brown coal in significant quantities, but Austraa is ranked 1st in world production of brown coal, with around 24% of the world's known supplies. It is mined in the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland; Bacchus Marsh; Altona; and Anglesea. Smaller mines are found in the St Vincents and Murray Basins and around Pidinga in South Australia; in the Murray Basin in New South Wales and Victoria; at Waterpark Creek near Rockhampton in Queensland; and at Scaddan, O'Sullivans and Balladonia in the south east of Western Australia.

The Aborigines call the time of creation the Dreamtime or Dreaming.

Despite dominating the racing scene in Australia during a long and distinguished career, Phar Lap only won the Melbourne Cup once. In the four years of his racing career, he won 37 of 51 races he entered, including the Melbourne Cup in 1930. In that year and 1931, he won 14 races in a row.

Australia is rich in natural resources, and they can be found virtually anywhere in Australia. There are many mining operations found around the continent, some inland, some in the heart of the desert, some close to the coast, and anywhere in the north, south, east or west.

More details on where Australia's natural resources are located can be found at the related link below.

In the early years, convicts were put to work immediately on building projects, particularly roads, and farming. New buildings needed to be constructed as the first shelters were just tents and lean-tos.

The first jobs involved clearing the land. The convicts had to chop down trees, then cut the wood up for practical uses such as building. They needed to clear the shrubs and low bushes as well, and prepare the ground for tilling and planting. This was hard work as most of the English tools were unable to stand up to the demands of Australia's harsher, rocky soil.

The convicts also had to quarry rock and haul it. This was used for building, and in the construction of roads and bridges.

Some of the convicts were assigned as servants to the free settlers or the officers. As the colony developed, the convicts worked in more skilled areas such as smithing, building tools, and even more intellectual pursuits where they showed aptitude. One of Australia's most famous architects, Francis Greenway, was a convict. Another convict with a background in printing was given permission to establish the colony's first newspaper.

No. As of mid-February 2014, the estimated population of Australia is 23,386,193.

A boomerang is shaped like a ruler that has a bend in the middle and the ends rounded off.

Australia has just one official national anthem: Advance Australia Fair.

It is the largest coral reef in the world and houses an enomous amount of sea life.

The environmental importance of the Reef coms from the fact that the health of the Reef points to the health of the ocean, and the creeks and rivers that feed into it, as well as signifying the general effects of pollution. It is of considerable concern that numbers of unique species such as dugong and loggerhead turtles have declined significantly since the 1960s, largely due to human intervention. The Reef shelters many endangered species

The most populous neighbour of Australia is Indonesia.

The Australian flag came into being after the Federation of the States into the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901. A design competition was held, and five almost identical designs selected to share the prize.

On 3 September 1901, the new Australian flag flew for the first time from the top of the Exhibition Building in Melbourne. The flag was simplified, and approved by King Edward VII in 1902.
