Australia has many dangerous animals.

Although there are no large and dangerous land mammals such as pumas, mountain lions or wolves, the continent has one of the few venomous mammals in the world - the male platypus, which has a venomous spur on its hind ankles, capable of injecting a powerful and agonising venom.

There are also dozens of venomous snakes, such as the Brown snake, Copperhead and Taipan, just to name a few. Introduced animals such as wild pigs and wild dogs can be very dangerous to encounter in the outback.

In addition, Australia's marine waters hold some of its deadliest creatures. The five most dangerous creatures in Australia are:

1. The Box Jellyfish

2. Irukandji (A Jellyfish)

3. Salt Water Crocodile

4. Blue Ring Octopus

5. Stone Fish

William Dampier was the first Englishman to land in Australia, doing so first in 1688 and again in 1699. Dampier was not impressed with what he found on shores of northwest Australia, and his negative reports discouraged further English exploration until James Cook was charged with the secret mission of making observations on (and claiming) any uninhabited lands in the south Pacific.

Dampier was not the first European to land on Australia, as the Dutch preceded him by over 80 years.

On Australia Day, many people plan a barbeque at the beach or at a park. It's a public holiday for most people, so the day is spent enjoying leisure activities.

Even though the Murray River forms much of the border between New South Wales and Victoria, it is actually considered to be within the state of New South Wales. This is stated on Victoria's website for the Department of Environment and Primary Industries. This is until it reaches the border of NSW and Victoria, whereupon it is entirely within the state of South Australia.

No it does not due to the star's. Thank you. -Julie.

Australia's most critically endangered animal is Gilbert's potoroo. Although captive breeding programmes are in place to try to save the last of these animals, their population is estimated at around 100 animals. They can only be found in isolated areas of far southwest Western Australia, including some offshore islands, to which captive breeding programmes have relocated some healthy specimens.

Australia is the only continent all of which is also one country.

The first camels were introduced into Australia in 1840 by John Ainsworth Horrocks, who opted to use them in his exploration of the arid interior. Nine camels were imported from the Canary Islands but only one, named Harry, still survived six years later, as little was understood of the camels' needs. After Harry the camel managed to shoot Horrocks while he was trying to remove his gun from its pack, leading to a lingering and agonising death for Horrocks, the animal was itself shot. None of these original animals remained.

The real introduction of camels came when a large group of camels was brought to Australia by George Landells in 1860 for the purpose of what would be later known as the Burke and Wills' expedition from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. These were the predecessors of today's wild camels. Camels continued to be brought over by later explorers. It was not uncommon for the explorers and/or the Afghan cameleers to release their camels, or for the camels to escape.

Following the opening up of the interior by the explorers, the Afghan cameleers established trade routes through central Australia as, until the railways were built late in the 19th century, camels were the only means for getting goods through the inland from south to north.
