Australia is not a republic because it has a monarch as its head. Australia is a constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy, and a federation. Queen Elizabeth II is Queen of Australia and of 15 other countries (including, but not limited to: the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica, etc).

Australia was originally modelled after the British system, having been founded by the British. After almost 100 years of being a federation, the question was put to the Australian public. The issue of whether Australia should be a republic was addressed in a referendum in 1999, in which Australians voted against becoming a republic.

South Africa is not a continent but a country and Johannesburg is a city in South Africa

The mountain range that runs down the east coast of Australia is called the Great dividing range.

Each Australian state operates a correspondence school for families living in remote areas. They do the work at home and send it in to the school. Similar to being home-schooled, but not quite. They also operate "schools of the air". These schools allow the students to communicate with the teachers by two-way radio. More commonly these days, wireless broadband is being utilized to both teach lessons and for the students to send in work.

Frequently, children are sent to boarding schools in the capital cities once they reach the secondary school years - Grade 8 through to 12.

See the link below to learn about the Alice Springs School of the Air in the heart of Australia. There are several Schools of the Air spread throughout the outback in regional centers

Australia was discovered by humans long before New Zealand. Australia has evidence of human habitation 50 000 years ago, while the earliest evidence in New Zealand is from 700 years ago. New Zealand is one of the last land masses to be inhabited by humans, which is why the New Zealand native ecology is so sensitive to the impact of humans - it has had very little time to adjust.

Australia was also the first of the two countries to be sighted by Europeans. The first documented European sighting was in 1606 for Australia, by Willem Janszoon from the Netherlands, and for New Zealand it was 1642, by Abel Tasman, also of the Netherlands.
