What is the Great Barrier Reef made of?
The Great Barrier Reef was built by natural means, with years and years of living coral building upon the skeletons of other coral, but in conjunction with a particular type of algae.
The corals that build reefs are not single animals. Coral is made up of colonies comprised of many individual animals called polyps, which join together. Coral polyps are a little like sea anemones, having tentacles that extend outwards, but they are not actually anemones.
Corals which create coral reefs have a symbiotic relationship with algae known as zooxanthellae. This algae, which lives within the tissues of the coral, causes a photosynthetic reaction which enables the polyps to make skeletons about three times faster in the light than in the dark. This means the corals deposit skeletons faster than the environment can remove it, and these skeletons build upon each other over time, creating a coral reef.
When did the Australia floods start in 2011?
Beginning from around mid December 2010 and continuing through to January 2011, there were massive floods right across the state of Queensland. These floods affected a wide area, hitting cities such as Rockhampton and Emerald particularly hard, and causing mass evacuations across the state. Towns affected included St George, Mundubbera, Dalby, Theodore, Chinchilla, Gayndah, Condamine and Warwick, just to name a few. A cyclone system which crossed the coast south of Cairns brought flooding to that city at Christmas.
What has been described as an inland tsunami hit Toowoomba, at the top of the Great Dividing Range, sending a mass of water down the range to swamp the towns at the base. Helidon and Grantham were particularly hard hit. The water then made its way into Wivenhoe Dam, contributing to the dam reaching a capacity in excess of 190%. This meant a lot of water had to be released into the Brisbane River to prevent overflow of the dam. This in turn swamped Ipswich and Brisbane, leading to devastating floods in both those cities.
Wombats have both sharp teeth and grinding teeth. Their teeth continuously grow, due to the wear and tear of them eating tough grasses and vegetation, but they have razor-sharp upper incisors. You would not wish for a wombat to mistake your hand for a plant.

Which is the wettest town in Australia?
The wettest place in Australia is reputed to be Tully on the east coast of northern Queensland with a total rainfall of over 4 metres per year.
On the Australian continent, the north Queensland towns of Tully and Babinda frequently vie to win the "Golden Gumboot" award each year. Tully used to win the annual award, but Babinda has now won it for seven consecutive years, recording an average annual rainfall of 4200mm.
If one were to regard the 'wettest place' as meaning the greatest number of rain days a year, this honour would most likely go to Macquarie Island, Tasmania with over 310 days of rain each year. However, rainfall is a mere 1 metre (1000mm) per year, a pittance compared to that which occurs in far north Queensland.

What is the tallest mountain in the Snowy Mountains?
The tallest mountain is mount everest, measuring up to 29,035 feet (8,850 meters) above sea level.
Although Everest is the tallest above sea level the tallest from the base to the summit is Mauna Kea at 32,696 ft (9,966 m). There is some debate because it is only 13,796 ft (4,205 m ) from sea level and also the tallest base to summit on dry land would be Mount McKinlay (Denali).
Note:
There is a distinction between the 'tallest' versus the 'highest' mountain. The tallest mountain is measured from base to summit. The highest mountain is a measurement of the highest point.
If you define the center point of the earth as a reference, using sea level, Mount Everest is technically the highest.
Tallest mountain from sea level (highest):
Mount Everest (also known as Qomolangma, or Chomolungma) in Asia's Himalayas is the world's highest mountain peak. When measured from sea level to its summit, it's 29,029 feet (8,848 meters) tall.
Mount Everest is called the world's highest mountain because it has the highest elevation above sea level.
The summit has been reached more than 4000 times by climbers, who pay a fee ($25000 USD) for a climbing permit.
Tallest mountain from the ocean floor (tallest):
Mauna Kea (in Hawaii) is the world's tallest mountain peak. When measured from the ocean floor to its summit, it's 33,476 feet tall (10,204 meters), but only its top 13,803 feet (4,207 meters) extend above sea level. Mauna Kea is also the world's tallest volcano.
Other considerations:
Measuring from the mountain's base to peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount McKinley (Denali), and Nanga Parbat, are all worth considering as the tallest in this category. It isn't possible to isolate one of these as the tallest because of the difficulty in establishing just where one considers the base of the mountain to be.
Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano is the world's largest mountain in cubic content with an estimated volume of 9,600 cubic miles (40,000 cubic kilometers). Mauna Loa is 13,681 feet (4,170 meters) high.
While Mt. Everest is the world's tallest mountain above sea level, Mauna Loa is still quite spectacular.
The distinction between world's tallest mountain range and world's highest mountain range is that the tallest mountains include those that are completely or partially submerged in water. When considering the height of the highestmountains, only the amount above sea level is considered.
Mauna Kea is the world's tallest mountain. It is located in Hawaii, USA. It is mostly submerged in the Pacific Ocean and rises more than 10,000 m (32,808 ft) from the ocean floor.
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world at 8,848m or 29,029ft
There are actually two answers to this question. The base of many mountains in the world are below sea level. Therefore the tallest mountain in the world is not the highest since a large part of the mountain is below sea level.
i would have to disagree with you on this. just because it is below sea level doesn't differ it height. a mountain can be twice as tall as Everest, and be underwater. just because it is underwater doesn't mean that it is shorter.
That being said, the highest mountain above sea level is Mount Everest, 8,848 meters (29,029 ft.) from the height above sea level to its peak.
The tallest mountain in the world is Mauna Kea, located in Hawaii. Mauna Kea's base is on the Pacific Ocean floor, with several thousand feet of the mountain being below sea level. Although it is the tallest mountain in the world, it's measurement from above sea level to peak is 4,207 meters (13,803 ft.).

Why is the western region of Australia called the outback?
The term "outback" refers to the minimally occupied regions beyond the main settlements. It comes from the fact that it is "out the back of beyond". It is, quite simply, a long way from civilisation. There seem to be no restrictions to the continuous wide, open spaces, and when you are in the outback there's a good chance that, unless you're on the major highways, you can travel for hours without meeting another car. Australia is a vast country, with huge tracts of unoccupied, dry land, which is the outback. It is its geography which makes it "the outback".
