Cities and large towns along on the Murray and Darling River system include:

• Albury-Wodonga
• Mildura
• Murray Bridge
• Broken Hill

Smaller but significant towns include Yarrawonga, Howlong, Echuca, Deniliquin, Swan Hill, Wentworth, Robinvale, Kerang, Morgan, Waikerie, Renmark, Loxton, Berri, Barmera and others.

A starfish called Crown of Thorns starfish.

The Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Acanthaster planci, commonly known as the crown-of-thorns starfish, is a large multi-armed starfish (or seastar) that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). It is a coral reef predator which preys on coral polyps by climbing onto them, extruding its stomach over them, and releasing digestive enzymes to absorb the liquified tissue. An individual adult of this species can eat up to six square metres of living reef in a single year.

Australia operates under a Federal parliamentary democracy, based on a constitution, so it is also sometimes referred to as a constitutional monarchy. The Australian government is based on the British system, which is the Westminster system of parliament, and consists of the House of Representatives (the Lower House) and the Senate (the Upper House). The lower house is chosen by the voters in electorates. The senate is chosen by voters in the states.

In Australia, although the Queen seems little more than a figurehead, she approves the appointing of the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Governor General is the Queen's representative in Australia, and his/her powers include appointing ambassadors, ministers and judges, giving Royal Assent to legislation, issuing writs for elections and bestowing honours. The Governor-General is also Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Defence Force. Whilst the Governor-General usually acts only on the advice of the Prime Minister, his/her reserve powers can be exercised over that of the Prime Minister, in extreme situations.

The Federal government oversees the following areas:

• telecommunications
• immigration, customs and border security
• employment
• welfare
• airports
• income tax
• defence
• education

• Both are for children
• You learn in both of them
• There are teachers in each of them
• The teachers are paid

• Greek schools usually consisted of only boys
• Greek schools usually are smaller, and have one teacher
• Children can go to school for free in English schools
• Going to Greek school meant learning to read and write, not math

Some of the non-native plants include popular ornamental garden flowers such as gerberas, nasturtiums, marigolds, rhododendrons, carnations, roses and so on. Lantana is a pervasive introduced species. Trees which are non-native include frangipani, jacaranda, poinciana, poinsettia, oak, elm and Monterey pine, to name a few.
