The Mediterranean Sea is to the North of Africa. It separates Europe from Africa.

Australia grossed $215,080,810 worldwide.

The country of Australia is the only country that occupies the continent of Australia. It is considered to be within the geographical region of Oceania and the political region of Australasia. It is also considered to be in the Asia-Pacific region.

The region of Oceania occupies the South Pacific. Oceania includes Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia.

Colonisation of Australia occurred with the arrival of the First Fleet on 26 January 1788. lieutenant James Cook had already claimed the eastern coast of Australia for England under the name of New South Wales in 1770, and colonisation cemented this claim.

The British decided to colonise Australia for several reasons:

1. To expand the British empire, and prevent the French from gaining a foothold in the Australian continent or in the southwest Pacific.

2. To solve the problem of Britain's overcrowded prisons (a consequence of the Industrial Revolution) by establishing a new penal colony in a land which showed promise for eventually becoming self-supporting. Britain had been sending their excess prisoners to North America, but the American War of Independence put a stop to the practice. Following this, the English were no longer able to transport surplus prisoners who couldn't legally be executed to North America.

3. Australia could provide commercial and political gains to Britain.

4. Due to war, Britain needed to find an alternative supply of Flax and timber as her Baltic supply was under threat. It was believed that nearby Norfolk Island would provide this.

5. Britain needed a port in the East to promote trade with China and to extend its naval and commercial power.

6. The continent had natural resources which England wanted.

The first permanent settlers arrived in Australia with the First Fleet on 26 January 1788 to set up the new penal colony.

The continent now occupied by the country of Australia only became known as "Australia" in 1824.

Australia as a country did not exist until Federation of the colonies, which occurred on 1 January 1901, with the establishment of the first Federal Constitution. On this date, the Commonwealth of Australia was born,. meaning that the actual country of Australia was 110 years old in 2011

Australia is larger, but Greenland appears large on flat maps because of the distortion that occurs the closer you get to the poles. Seeing the two on a globe helps to more accurately see their real size.

All the deserts of Australia have a hot subtropical desert climate.

Aboriginals haven't impacted Australian society a great deal. Most live in traditional area still. They are excellent stockmen, and many are good artists. Most are still taught traditional aboriginal culture; also they are renowned for their tracking ability

Indigenous Australians have until recently had very little impact on Australian society. Throughout Australian history they have been disposed, hunted down and marginalised, today some of the aboriginal people chose to live among us enjoying the same life style, as do European Australians. However many are still the product of the colonial past living a rough life and not having a great deal of choice in the matter

some aboriginal Australians have had an enormous impact on Australian history. one was the first black Australian parliamentary member. many fought for aboriginal Australian rights such as voting and proper education. one even set up an aboriginal Australian school.

It depends on whether the question refers to population or area.

As of late 2010, the population of New South Wales was estimated to be 7,253,000 and the population of South Australia was an estimated 1,648,000.

However, the area of New South Wales is only 800,628 sq km, while the area of South Australia is around 978 810 sq km.

Australian Journal of Soil Research was created in 1963.

Because the coast of Australia is so "golden" (A.K.A. the sand) and it is full of beaches.

Yes. Australia has both private and public health care.

The public health care system is 'Medicare', funded by the government authority known as Medicare Australia. The care offered by this service allows Australian citizens the right to subsidised health care and free hospital care. It is adequate, but there are certainly issues with overcrowding of public hospitals and extensive waiting lists for elective surgery. On the other hand, compared to many countries which lack such a healthcare system, it is an excellent system which allows all Australians the opportunity to access decent healthcare.

The private health insurance system is exceptional, but the costs are becoming too high for many people. Private health insurance allows for a variety of choices in what one can claim for, including hospital and extras. Included in extras is the consmer's choice of such things as orthopaedic care, dental care, chiropractic, naturopathic and so on, to whatever degree one wishes, according to what one is prepared to pay in premiums.

Australians do not keep native wildlife as pets. These animals are protected and even the common kangaroo cannot be kept as a pet, but only by wildlife carers who have a special licence. This is not to say that some Australians do not illegally keep such pets.

On the whole, Australians commonly have dogs, cats, fish, birds - especially budgies, galahs and cockatiels, and guinea-pigs, mice and rats. In all states except Queensland and Western Australia, rabbits may be kept. Australians do not have gerbils or hamsters. In Tasmania, people may keep ferrets.

Reptiles may also be kept, but must never be caught from the wild. Some native species are able to be kept in certain states without permits, e.g. the eastern Blue Tongue Lizard may be kept in South Australia without a permit, but not in other states. Turtles, hermit crabs, and an array of snakes and lizards are available from pet shops.

can you just tell me the answer

well, shepherds watch the sheep. But basically, just farmers, lol

One of the major impacts of the British was that they dispossessed the indigenous Australians of their land. The Aborigines were pushed back from their fertile lands along the coast, into the deserts, and in Tasmania they were exterminated entirely. With loss of land came loss of hunting grounds and fewer food sources.

Disease was a major problem. Aborigines had no resistance to British diseases, from measles to the 'flu. Thousands of Aborigines died when epidemics of these diseases swept through their camps. The British also introduced venereal diseases when they took the aboriginal women for their own use.

Loss of culture resulted from the British taking over. No longer were the Aborigines free to live as they had lived for centuries. The British ripped families apart, took children away from their families, and forced them to adapt to white culture. Stories of the aboriginal Dreamtime were lost, as was their heritage.

There were also massacres of aboriginal people, usually with very little provocation. Australian history sadly abounds with stories of landowners, settlers and squatters organising the slaughter of groups of Aborigines, often women, children and even older men.
