Australia, mate!

A waist size-30 inches in the US is a waist size-96 centimeters in Australia. In the USA a size-12 dress or blouse is a size-16 in Australia. Shoe sizes in Australia run .5-inches larger than in the USA, so if you were a size 8 in US size, you would be a size 8.5 in Australian size.

Australia has a land area of 7,686,850 sq km

1. There is no such thing as an "Australian rabbit". Rabbits were introduced to Australia.

2. Rabbits were not "transported". Transportation was the punishment given to people who had committed crimes.

However, rabbits were brought to Australia on the First Fleet as a food source.

Arthur Phillip was born in London on 11 October 1738. He joined the Royal Navy when he was fifteen, and alternately earned a living as a navy officer and as a farmer. He climbed his way up through the ranks in the navy, being much sought after as a calm and reasonable officer, and later captain, and he had many naval battle successes, including when he was seconded to the Portuguese navy in its war with Spain. During that period he became commander of a Portuguese colony supported by convict labour, and his patron the Duke of Norfolk was able to recommend him for command of the Botany Bay expedition as having experience in administering a military-convict colony.

In October 1786, Phillip was appointed Governor-designate of the proposed British penal colony of New South Wales. He was a practical man who suggested that convicts with experience in farming, building and crafts be included in the First Fleet, but his proposal was rejected.

The First Fleet left Portsmouth, England, on 13 May 1787,and arrived in Botany Bay on 18 January 1788. Phillip immediately determined that there was insufficient fresh water, an absence of usable timber, poor quality soil and no safe harbour at Botany Bay. Thus the fleet was moved to Port Jackson, arriving on 26 January 1788.

Phillip faced many obstacles in his attempts to establish the new colony. British farming methods, seeds and implements were unsuitable for use in the different climate and soil: much of the seed had rotted or been eaten by rats on the journey over, and the implements and tools could not stand up to the tougher treatment and conditions of the Australian soil and climate. The colony faced near-starvation in its first two years, and was finally saved by the success of a barley crop.

Out of necessity, due to the growing need for more land in Sydney, Phillip undertook several expeditions of exploration in the immediate area. His explorations resulted in the first spread of settlement to the Parramatta and Rose Hill areas. He also traced the course of the Hawkesbury River as far upstream as he could, to Richmond Hill, and he then continued on to the junction with the Grose River.

Despite numerous setbacks, under Phillip's rationing and sensible direction, the colony finally succeeded in developing a solid foundation, agriculturally and economically, thanks to the perseverance of Captain Arthur Phillip. As a military man, he began to establish a legal code by publishing weekly orders for the governance of the colony. It was by his leadership alone that the colony became entirely self-sufficient. He also worked to improve understanding with the local Aborigines.

Also whilst Governor, Captain Arthur Phillip established the military colony to protect the East India Company trade as directed, and in doing so also preempted French intrusion into the area. He also established a station on Norfolk Island, under Philip Gidley King, to begin to supply masts and flax for the British fleet.

Poor health forced Phillip to return to England in 1792. He resigned his commission soon after arriving back in England, and died on 31 August 1814.

Australia became a country with self-determination at Federation on the 1st of January, 1901.

It could also be said that true democracy first came to Australia as a result of the goldrushes. It is considered to have begun with the miners' uprising known as the Eureka Stockade. The battle of the Eureka Stockade failed in its immediate objective to gain more rights for miners, but it gained the attention of the Government.

A Commission of Enquiry was conducted and changes were implemented. One of the changes was that the Legislative Council was expanded to allow representation to the major goldfields, with Peter Lalor, a key figure in the Eureka uprising, being elected for Ballarat, along with another representative, John Basson Humffray. Later, Lalor was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria.

For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.

Australia is very rich in mining resources, and exports minerals and coal to many other countries. Also, its climate is able to support all sorts of livestock and crops, which are also exported. It also has a strong manufacturing industry.

Aborigines have a very close connection with their homeland which is part of their very identity. Their soul was infused with the earth, and to be dispossessed of their tribal lands meant they lost that connection and therefore their very spiritual identity.

The great barrier reef is a natural site, as humans did not influence the creation of it, but early Aborigional people and Torres Strait islanders had cultural connections with it.

Emus occur in all Australian states except Tasmania. They can be found almost anywhere in the country except within urban areas, although they can be found on the outskirts of these areas.

Emus range from coastal areas, where they are becoming increasingly rarer due to developments and roads, to the sub-Alpine regions. Therefore, they can take a range of temperatures from cool-temperate to hot-temperate.

Emus used to be found in Tasmania, but European settlement resulted in their extinction there. Two dwarf species of emu inhabited Kangaroo Island (off the South Australian coast) and King Island (in Bass Strait) but they also became extinct, mostly due to being hunted by whalers and sailors.

they are only harmful to humans if you attack their home and try to eat them.
