HOUSEHOLD GROWTH
The number of households in Australia is projected to increase from 6.9 million in 1996 to between 9.4 and 10.0 million in 2021, a rise of between 38% and 46%. Household growth is projected to be faster than population growth (24%) over the projection period. The projected average annual household growth rate for Australia in Series B (1.4%) is higher than the projected rates for the United Kingdom (0.6%), the United States of America (1.1%) and New Zealand (1.2%) but lower than the rate for Canada (1.6%).
Lone person households are projected to show the greatest percentage increase of all household types over the 25-year projection period. This is related to the ageing of the population and the fact that older women, in particular, are more likely to live alone than others. The number of lone person households is projected to increase by between 52% and 113%, from 1.6 million households in 1996 to between 2.4 million and 3.4 million households in 2021.

What happened to convicts in Australia after they were freed?
Convicts who were trusted in their capacity as servants, or in whatever jobs they were given, were given a ticket of leave. They had to apply for this, through their master, to the Bench magistrates. They were also required to have served a certain amount of their sentence. If they were transported for a 7 year term, they were required to have completed 4 years service with 1 master or 5 years with 2 masters. If they were transported for 14 years, they needed to complete 6 years with a single master, 8 years with 2 masters or 12 years with 3 masters. if they were transported "for the term of their natural life", they needed to have completed 8 years with 1 master, 10 years with 2 masters or 12 years with 3 masters.
A ticket of leave entitled them to work for themselves, either as a farmer or in their own business, within a specified region. They were permitted to own land, and they had to be sure to report to a magistrate regularly. they also had to attend church.
After a period of time as a ticket of leave convict, they could apply for a conditional pardon (which meant they were free but could not return to England or Ireland) or a free pardon/ absolute pardon, which meant they were entirely free.

What is the most famous tourist spot in Australia?
A 2007 tourist report indicates that Sydney is the number one tourist destination in Australia, closely followed by Tropical North Queensland and the Gold Coast.
Naturally, there are other popular places such as Uluru/Ayers Rock, but the places listed above are officially the most-visited tourist areas. The report does not list a single tourist attraction as the "number one" attraction. One could assume, however, that if Sydney tops the list of favoured destinations, then the Sydney Opera House is arguably the number one tourist attraction in Australia. Now in 2015 Uluru is the number 1 tourist attraction because of stunning colour change and because it the largest red rock ever
