New South Wales has a bush fire crisis every summer.

Darwin's located in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is on the northern coast of the Territory.

There are two general categories of reproductive isolating mechanisms: prezygotic, or those that take effect before fertilization, and postzygotic, those that take effect afterward. Prezygotic RIMs prevent the formation of hybrids between members of different populations through ecological, temporal, ethological (behavioral), mechanical, and gametic isolation.

A wombat warns off intruders with an aggressive display of head shaking, gnashing teeth and a guttural growl.

Burrows provide wombats with protection from predators, weather and bushfires. A predator following a wombat into its burrow can be crushed against the roof by the wombat's powerful rump.

For defence, the wombat literally uses its backside. It has extra tough, thick skin on its lower back. Because a wombat's burrow is only just big enough for the wombat itself to fit into, in the event of a dog or dingo attack, it will turn around and present only that thicker hide to the aggressor, a hide that is difficult for a dingo's teeth to penetrate.

Wombats have very robust claws capable of causing a considerable amount of damage.

Most Australian sugar cane is grown in northern Queensland.

The gold rush had positive lasting effect for Australia in a number of ways.

There were huge increases in the population. In 1851, Australia's population was 437,655. By the end of the gold rush, 1861, Australia's population had more than doubled and Victoria's, the site of the gold rush, had increased seven-fold. After the goldrush, many of the new towns shrank to just a fraction of their former size, resulting in ghost towns in many areas.

There was a new boom of Victorian architecture in cities such as Melbourne, and the richness of this architecture can still be seen today. The newfound wealth meant that Britain no longer had any reason to withhold self-government. New rules, policies and legislation were implemented, giving Australia more of an understanding of how to draft future legislation and, indeed, its own constitution.

Because of the rivalry between Victoria and NSW, a new site was chosen for the Australian capital. Canberra lies where it is today because of this very rivalry brought on by the goldrush. Of course, there quite possibly wouldn't have been the need for a capital city were it not for the goldrush: Australia now had the confidence to "go it alone" - to break free from 'Mother Britain" and aim for independence, which it achieved with the federation of the states in 1901.

The goldrushes helped bring improvements in transportation. The famous "Cobb and Co Coaches" ran successfully for half a century, thanks to the goldrush. Train lines were built, linking the major centres, and roadways were improved.

The gold rush paved the way for the establishment of democracy in Australia. The Eureka Stockade was the 1854 miners' uprising on the goldfields of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. For a variety of reasons, conditions on the Australian goldfields were harsh, leading a large group of miners to barricade themselves in a stockade they had built. The rebellion itself failed in its objective to improve certain conditions on the goldfields, but it gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry was conducted and changes were implemented. These included abolition of monthly gold licences, replaced by an affordable annual miner's licence. The numbers of troopers were reduced significantly, and Legislative Council was expanded to allow representation to the major goldfields.

The name Australia is derived from the Latin Australis, meaning of the South. Legends of an "unknown land of the south" (terra australis incognita) date back to the Roman times and were commonplace in mediaeval geography, but they were not based on any actual knowledge of the continent. The Dutch adjectival form Australische ("Australian", in the sense of "southern") was used by Dutch officials in Batavia to refer to the newly discovered land to the south as early as 1638. The first use of the word "Australia" in English was a 1693 translation of Les Aventures de Jacques Sadeur dans la Découverte et le Voyage de la Terre Australe, a 1692 French novel by Gabriel de Foigny under the pen name Jacques Sadeur [1]. Alexander Dalrymple then used it in An Historical Collection of Voyages and Discoveries in the South Pacific Ocean, published in 1771. He used the term to refer to the entire South Pacific region, not specifically to the Australian continent. In 1793, George Shaw and Sir James Smith published Zoology and Botany of New Holland, in which they wrote of "the vast island, or rather continent, of Australia, Australasia or New Holland."

In 1929, Cecil Madigan named the Simpson Desert after Allen Simpson, who was a major sponsor of his desert studies, and the President of the Royal Geographical Society in Adelaide. Prior to this, the desert was named the Arunta Desert after the Arrente aboriginal tribe who dwelt there, and was colloquially known as the "Great Ribbed Desert" because of the ribbed patterns of the sand dunes. It was originally discovered by Captain Charles Sturt in 1844.

Phonetically it is said as:

Melburn.

The red-tailed phascogale is a tiny carnivorous marsupial found only in remnants of Wandoo or Rock oak woodland in far southwest Western Australia.

The numbat is also found in similar territory but, strictly speaking, it is insectivorous rather than carnivorous, as it is a specialist feeder, eating only termites.

Busses and bikes are popular alternate transport and Trams/light rail are a popular idea- many people want them

In theory Australia has a limited federal government, when the Constitution was written, specific powers were given to the commonwealth, with everything else automatically a state issue. Since 1901 that balance of power has shifted somewhat towards the commonwealth, so the commonwealth now has more power than the states.

Gold was officially found in Australia in 1851, not 1850. It was first found at Ophir, near Bathurst, New South Wales. Within a few months, rich strikes were recorded at Ballarat and Bendigo.

The indigenous natives of Australia are referred to as "Aboriginals". They refer to themselves as "Koorie" (The People).
