How far is it from Vancouver BC to Sydney Australia?
That's hard to say, since a large part of that is over water and not road. If you are driving and taking a ferry it will be around 2.5 hours. I assume you mean.... oh, you don't mean Sidney on vancouver island but Sydney Australia....
Well that's different. You should check with an online travel service. Just pick a random flight and see it's duration.

What are the adaptations of an Australian dog?
This is a heated topic among the breeders of Australian Shepherds. First, it should be clarified that there is not a "standard" size Australian Shepherd. There are Australian Shepherds, Miniature Australian Shepherds and even Toy Australian Shepherds. Since you did not ask about the Toy version, I will limit my response to Australian Shepherds and Miniature Australian Shepherds.
The Australian Shepherd breed standards (AKC and ASCA) do not have size restrictions but rather suggested ideals of between 18" -23". A dog smaller or larger than those stated sizes is still acceptable if it is structurally sound and capable of performing the work asked of it.
Those who oppose the promotion of Miniatures feel that breeding a smaller size is unnecessary when a smaller dog can be found among the general population. They are concerned that the act of breeding selectively for size comes at the possible expense of health and structure. The final concern is that by breeding smaller dogs, the Mini breeders are targeting urban pet owners who have little space (small yards, apartment dwellers) and misrepresenting the true nature of a herding dog.
The Miniature Australian Shepherds are still active dogs and although they may be physically smaller, they do require as much exercise and training as their larger counterparts. This breed still requires as much exercise, training and grooming care as an Austrlian Shepherd who is 23" tall.
The Mini breeders started breeding for smaller size over twenty years ago using Australian Shepherds as their basis. There are various stories as to why they opted to go in this direction, some hold water and some don't. Regardless of anyone's opinion, the debate over Mini's vs Aussies comes down to one thing: Freedom of Choice. They have the same right to pursue a goal as the next person.
These breeders made a choice and have followed through by producing a style of dog that consistently meets a standard they developed.

Why is Australian proud of their landmarks?
first of all their habit of drinking too much, followed by their sporting prowess, and then their inventiveness.
Australians do not all drink too much. It depends upon one's social circle.
However, things that Australians are proud of include:
- Attaining their independence from Britain in a bloodless way, and their patriotism
- Often being considered "underdogs", yet overcoming this tag to come out on top.
- Sports indeed feature highly - especially their swimmers, tennis players and cricketers
- Their loyalty to their "mates"
- Their freedom of politics, religion, education and so on
- Their love of the outdoors
- To elaborate on the first answer, Australians are proud of their inventiveness. Living in such a harsh and, at time, unforgiving environment, certain adaptations have had to be made. Australians invented the first surf lifesaving reel; the first Hills hoist (for outdoor clothes drying); the stump-jump plough, for ploughing in difficult soils.
How did Fraser Island get its name?
The name Fraser Island comes from Eliza Fraser and her story of survival from a shipwreck on the island. Captain James Fraser and his wife, Eliza Fraser, were shipwrecked on the island in 1836. The name of the ship was the Stirling Castle. Captain Fraser died but Eliza was rescued off the island. Eliza later made money traveling around England and Australia telling her story of the events that had occurred while the Stirling Castle'sofficers were on the island. As she is known to have told several versions of the story, it is unknown which version is the most accurate.
What is Australia's most southerly town?

What are some unique things about Australia's Christmas?
Australia's Christmas is unique because December 25 falls right in the middle of Summer. As Australia is already a hot continent, it means Christmases may be either celebrated outdoors around the backyard pool, with a barbeque, or at the beach, or inside with the air-conditioning on full. Some regions enjoy a more temperate climate, but extremes of weather on Christmas Day can mean one is in the middle of a heatwave, or enduring a summer storm or monsoonal rains.
Christmas lights displays and nativity displays often feature the concept of Christ as a baby in the Australian Bush, surrounded by kangaroos, koalas and other native fauna. Rather than snow-covered scenes, Christmas cards may illustrate a "Surfin' Santa", or white boomers (large kangaroos) pulling the sled.

Australian houses tend to be made of brick. In the south, solid stone is also used.
There are a large number of wooden and chamfer board or weatherboard in the northern half of the country, as houses were often built on stilts to take advantage of breezes, and to keep them above floodwaters.
What kind of landform is Australia?
There is a great deal of variety within Australia's climate. Most of the continent lies within the temperate zone, but northern Queensland and the Top End of the Northern Territory experience a tropical and sub-tropical climate, with monsoonal rains and cyclones during the summer. By contrast, Tasmania and parts of Victoria can experience both very cool summer temperatures, then sudden jumps to extreme heat.
It is also very dry throughout southern Australia in summer - as witnessed through the tragic bushfires that killed over 170 in Victoria (February 2009). Australia experiences droughts for long periods of time, and associated heatwaves. Yet, at the same time people were losing their lives and homes in Victoria, others along the northern coast of Queensland were losing their homes to floods, with the promise of even more rain to come. Brisbane and regions north along the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range are prone to sudden thunderstorms in summer. Inconsistency is the catchword in Australia - for example, Melbourne and southern Victoria can easily switch from hot and dry one day to cold and wet the next.
Very few places in Australia experience snow, compared to the size of the continent. In Winter, snow falls in the Alpine regions of New South Wales and Victoria, and sometimes even in the central tablelands of NSW, near the Blue Mountains and Orange. Tasmania experiences some snow, as does Canberra, less frequently.
The main landforms of Australia include:
- the Australian Alps, where Australia's ten highest mountains are all within six kilometres of each other
- numerous deserts, e.g. Simpson Desert, Great Victoria desert, Great Sandy Desert, etc
- Unusual mountain formations such as the Bungle-Bungles (Western Australia) and the Warrumbungles (NSW)
- The Grampians (mountain range in western Victoria)
- Blue Lake (volcanic crater lake in Mt Gambier, South Australia)
- Limestone cliffs of the Great Australian Bight
- Uluru/Ayers Rock, the world's second largest monolith
- Mt Augustus, the world's largest monolith
- the Devil's Marbles, large tumbled rocks near Tennant Creek in central Australia
- Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island
- the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef (actually a series of reefs) and the only living organism visible from space
- Kata-tjuta/the Olgas - bald rock domes in central Australia
- the Pinnacles - a vast desert of upright sandstone formations, weathered over time into weird shapes
- the Three Sisters, a famous landmark in the Blue Mountains
- the Twelve Apostles, off the southern Victorian coastline - a series of sandstone cliffs and rock formations that are gradually eroding away (three have collapsed in the last few years)
- Wave Rock, a 14m high granite rock cliff face near Hyden, Western Australia, weathered into a perfect wave formation
- Lake Eyre, 15m below sea level in the South Australian outback, and the other many, vast saltpans
- Nullarbor Plain, a huge, treeless plain crossing South Australia and western Australia
