Australia

The deadliest spider in Australia is the Red Back spider, closely followed by the Funnel web spider.

I was born....

But you probably mean the passing of the Australia Acts. The Australia Act was a piece of legislation passed by both the Commonwealth Parliament (Australia) and the British Parliament.

Its effect was to remove the ability for the British Parliament to legislate with effect in Australia, the British government to rule in Australia and to remove British courts as courts of appeal from Australian courts.

Australia did not want to remain a colony. Once the gold rushes started, and the colonies built up their own wealth, moves were made towards federation and eventual autonomy from Great Britain.

The first white settlers in Australia were from the UK they were a mixture of free men guards government officials and many convicts that supplied the work force. Until the 1930's the majority of Australians were from Britain, however since then the balance has moved to an ever more cosmopolitan mixture Both racially and nationality.

He came as Governor and Captain General of the Colony of New South Wales, to reestablish control after Major Johnston had deposed the previous Governor Bligh. In 1809, Lieutenant Colonel Lachlan Macquarie arrived in Sydney to take up the position of Governor of the New South Wales colony, which he held from 1810 to 1821. With his military training and vision for organisation and discipline, Macquarie was an ideal candidate to restore order to the colony, following the Rum Rebellion against deposed Governor William Bligh. Macquarie upheld high standards for the development of New South Wales from penal colony to free settlement. He introduced the first building code into the colony and ordered the construction of roads, bridges, wharves, churches and public buildings.

Yes. Beginning in 1970, Australia adopted the use of the Celsius (centigrade) scale for temperatures.

Excluding the far western outpost of the Grampians in western Victoria, the Great Dividing Range extends for about 3,500 km along the eastern coast of Australia.

It begins in the far northeastern end of Queensland, continues along the entire length of the eastern coast through New South Wales and Victoria, then turns west, ending at the Grampians in western Victoria.

Last years was recorded at 275000. Before that it averaged at around 290000.

These figures are kept securely in good ol' Tim's cabin whose location is yet to be revealed.

Out of these missing people, usually about 20% of them are found, all of which have been severed and mutilated. We can only presume the others were also victims of the Australian inbread colonies.

My personal warning is stay clear of these inbreads! If you see anyone looking even slightly disfigured, there's going to be trouble!

Australia, along with many countries uses both systems. There is no legislation anywhere that says the people must use one system or the other.
The scientific and technical community everywhere uses the SI ( Le Système International d'Unités) system of units. Though that system uses the Kelvin as a base unit it has a different starting point but is exactly equivalent to degrees Celsius or Centigrade. Which are useful units in the everyday world.
It is important that we agree on definitions of certain things, especially in the physical world. Hence we have the SI system.
In the ordinary workaday world it matters little if you say it is 80 degrees outside, no one is going to think you mean 80 degrees Celsius or Kelvin. One is too hot the other is too cold.
It would be ideal if everyone used the same units.
Calendars are another subject of debate. Most people accept the Gregorian calendar. Many religions use archaic and (more) inaccurate ones Lunar, solar, luni/solar and I just made it up ones. Though they will use the Gregorian one in everyday life. (Ask them when they are due a tax return)

According to the Australian Government's website, and backed by data from the Australian Institute of Criminology, there are roughly 52,000 bushfires every year. Actual figures may vary from 46,000 to 62,000 per year.

It is commonly called the Boab, or Boabab, or Boab- Boab, or Bottle tree. It is closely related to the same genus in Africa.

It is found in nearly all semi arid seasonal rainfall tropical climates of Australia.

No, the moon is not the size of the state of Texas. The moon is much larger than Texas. The diameter of the moon is an estimated 2,160 miles.

All countries depend on each other for trade. However, Australia is one of the few countries able to supply all its needs, by way of food, manufacturing and natural resources. It is more expedient, however, for countries to trade with each other. For example, even though Australia grows a huge variety of fruit, much of this is exported, while similar types of fruit are imported.

Australia does not have alligators in the wild. Of course there are some in zoos. Australia has the relatively small fresh water crocodile and of course the largest of all the iconic salt water crocodile which is capable of being in fresh or salt water. It is found in the rivers, estuaries and wetlands of northern Australia and has been known to island hop in the far north.

The time difference between Australian Eastern Standard Time and US Eastern Daylight Time is -14 hours.

Therefore if it is 1pm Tuesday in Sydney it will be 11pm Monday in New York.

The highest point on the Australian mainland is Mt Kosciuszko, located in the Australian Alps in the southeast of the continent. Named by explorer Paul Edmund de Strzelecki, Kosciuszko has an elevation of 2228 m.

Plane tickets can usually be purchased at the ticket counter at the airport. You can also purchase them from a travel agency, and most are available online directly from the airline, and through such online agencies as Orbits, or Travelocity. It is often possible to purchase tickets by phone, as well.

The first Irish people in Australia were Irish rebels who were sent to the colony as convicts. There were no Irish rebels on the First Fleet, but there were on subsequent fleets, from the 1790s.

In Australian currency, the most valuable 10-cent coin is the 1982 10-cent coin, specifically the one with the "missing leg" error on the kangaroo design. This error occurs when part of the kangaroo's leg is not fully struck, making it a rare collectible. Coins in excellent condition can fetch significant prices among collectors, sometimes exceeding hundreds of dollars. Other 10-cent coins from limited mintages or special editions may also hold value, but the 1982 error coin is particularly sought after.
