Australia

The Northern Hairy-nosed and Southern hairy-nosed wombats are endangered, although the Common wombat is not. (Note: the Southern Hairy-nosed wombat is listed by the IUCN as "Least Concern.)

The hairy-nosed varieties have become endangered because of human settlement. Agriculture and the destruction of the wombat's grassland habitat has caused the wombat to have to move to mountainous, unsettled areas where they are less able to dig effective burrows. Consequently, they are more likely to fall prey to dingoes and wild feral dogs. Stock animals (cattle and sheep) and the introduced rabbit have also degraded their natural food source, which is mostly grasses and shrubs.

Wombats have a fairly slow reproduction rate. They mate after the age of two, and the young stays in its mother's pouch for 7-10 months.

1901 was a special year for Australia in a number of ways: It was the year the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed as the states were united in Federation (January 1). The first Commonwealth Parliament was opened in Australia by the Duke of Cornwall and York, later King George V (May 9). The Australian flag was flown for the first time (September 3). Despite Australia's newfound independence, the country also mourned the passing of Queen Victoria of England on January 22, after a reign of sixty-three years, seven months, and two days.

Italians migrated to Australia because they sought a better life as the labour in Italy was cheap especially in the agriculture industry.

In the 1950s, Australia's Snowy River Hydro-Electric Scheme attracted tens of thousands of overseas workers. They were attracted by the high pay, the freedoms available in Australia and the surety of employment in the post-war period.

• Captain James Cook: the first Englishman to recognise the potential of Australia's east coast. However, he was neither the discoverer, nor the founder of Australia.
• Captain Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, and the one who founded Australia.
• Matthew Flinders, who was the first explorer to circumnavigate and chart the Australian continent.
• Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Wentworth, who were the first to cross the Blue Mountains and find good grazing land on the other side. This enabled the colony of Sydney Cove to expand. There were many famous explorers after these three men crossed the Blue Mountains. They included John Oxley, George Evans, Charles Sturt, Hamilton Hume, Sir Thomas Mitchell, Ludwig Leichhardt, Eward Eyre, Robert O'Hara Burke and William Wills, John McDouall Stuart, just to name a few.
• Edward Hargraves, the man credited with being the first to discover payable gold, and hence the one who started the Australian goldrush.
• Sir Edmund Barton - first prime minister
• Sir Henry Parkes - father of federation
• A.B.'Banjo' Paterson and Henry Lawson, both patriotic authors and poets of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
• Charles Perkins - fought for indigenous rights and first indigenous person in Australia to graduate from a university.
• Charles Kingsford Smith. He completed the first non-stop crossing of the Australian mainland and the first flight from Australia to New Zealand. In 1930 he flew 16 000 kilometres single handedly and won the England to Australia air race. He is particularly well-known for being the first to cross the Pacific from the United States to Australia, which he did in 1928, in the Southern Cross, a Fokker FVII-3M monoplane.

Most Australians eat a lot of beef and chicken. Large parts of Australia are dedicated to grazing cattle and grass fed beef is cheap and available. Most of Australia's sheep are for wool production but lamb is also readily available; mutton is not but it is sometimes sold as lamb. Turkey is more expensive, but if you can afford it it is widely available. Pork is mostly more expensive than beef, but we eat that too. Kangaroo meat is very cheap and available. Kangaroos are considered pests in some areas. Because we irrigate areas that were never able to support large grazing animals before white settlement, kangaroo populations have exploded. The roos now eat everything and sometimes breed and eat until they are all in danger of starving. Large culls are required to keep them from a horrible death but the bodies are not left to rot - they are used for pet food, human consumption and leather. Kangaroo meat is very tender, low in fat and it tastes good too, but some Australians don't like to eat it because they like kangaroos too much.

Fish is also eaten, mainly saltwater fish but some freshwater fish as well. Barramundi is a favourite angling fish and tastes very good. Mackeral, bream and red emperor are other popular eating fish.

Specialty meats such as venison (deer) and game birds are available but you can't just buy them in the average supermarket. They are usually hard to find and very expensive. Hunting is permitted in some parts of Australia, but a lot of the wildlife is protected and the gun laws are very strict. You are mostly allowed to catch and eat your own fish, but limits apply to prevent overfishing.
