Australia

Wombats are native to Australia, where they can be found across various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and semi-arid areas. They are marsupials known for their unique characteristics, such as their sturdy build and burrowing behavior.

Snow in Australia falls in limited areas compared to the entire area of the continent.

Winter time sees excellent snowfalls for skiing in the Snowy Mountains region of southeastern New South Wales and northeastern Victoria. Central Tasmania also sees good snowfalls. These falls usually only start in June at the earliest - usually July - and continue through August, tapering off in the early months of Spring. Several of Australia's main snow resorts include the Kosciuszko National Park in NSW (Charlotte's Pass, Thredbo, Blue Cow) and Victoria (Mt Bogong, Fall's Creek, Mt Hotham, etc).

Snow also falls (rarely) in southwest Western Australia, the southeast of South Australia, the highlands of Tasmania, Victoria, NSW (e.g. Blue Mountains to Orange) and even southern Queensland on the border around Stanthorpe.It has even been known to snow towards the coast in Victoria, in Gippsland and near the Great Ocean Road.

Of Australia's major cities, Canberra is the most likely to receive snow, followed by Hobart, but these falls are usually very light.

The body of water between Cape York Peninsula and the Northern Territory of Australia is the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is a large shallow gulf, surrounded by areas of mangrove and swamp, and is known for its strong tides.

Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia.

uluru as it is now called is the result of the orosion of a mountain rangethat laid sand down in a basin formed about 900 million years ago. the sand gathered at the bottom of this ancient sea bed until about 300 million years ago at which time it was once again raised up out of the sea and has been weathering or eroding ever since.

School start dates can vary in New South Wales, but generally schools start back after summer holidays in late January or early February. To get the exact start date for this year, you can check the NSW Department of Education website or contact your child's school directly.

The city's highest recorded temperature was 43.2 °C (110 °F) on 26 January 1940.

The Earths tilt is such that the northern hemisphere is pointing away from the sun more in the winter. The northern hemisphere receives less solar energy as the suns rays hit the earth surface at shallower angles during this time.

The distance between Sydney Harbour and Ayers Rock (Uluru) is approximately 2,428 kilometers (1,509 miles) in a straight line. It is advisable to confirm the actual travel distance and route as it may vary depending on the mode of transportation chosen.

Urban areas in Australia are known as cities. The major cities in Australia include Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. These cities are characterized by large populations, infrastructure, and economic activity.

The Great Barrier Reef stretches from Rockhampton northwards along the east coast Queensland and a little beyond.

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is in the southern part of Australia's Northern Territory, about 75 km from the South Australian border. It lies about 470km southwest of Alice Springs, by road, and is within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

Latitude and longitude for Uluru: 25°19'46.12"S 131° 1'10.58"E

The whole country uses UTC + 5.5 hours. It is called India Standard Time, which is abbreviated IST, although IST is also the accepted abbreviation for Israel Standard Time and Irish Summer Time.

Hurricane Opal formed due to a combination of warm ocean waters, low wind shear, and atmospheric instability, which provided the conditions necessary for a tropical disturbance to develop into a hurricane. These factors allowed the storm to intensify and grow in strength as it moved across the Gulf of Mexico.

Silica is a key ingredient in opal glass, providing the glass with its unique properties. Silica helps to lower the melting temperature of the glass, making it easier to work with during the manufacturing process. Additionally, silica contributes to the opalescent appearance of opal glass, giving it a milky, iridescent quality.

There is no capital of the outback. It is a general region encompassing a very large area of inland Australia. There are several large towns and small cities in the outback, each serving a particular function, but none is a capital.

The Barkly Tableland is an extensive plateau which extends from Camooweal, south of the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Queensland, about 560km west to the Northern Territory, as far as the Stuart Highway. It is predominantly used for cattle stations. It is marked by seasonal watercourses, so can become wet and impassable in some places during the summer monsoon, while subartesian bores supply water during the dry season. The Barkly Tableland was named by William Landsborough in honour of Sir Henry Barkly, who was Governor of Victoria from 1856-1863.

London, England (UK) is at (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT. Perth, Australia is (Greenwich Mean Time) GMT +8 hours, ie. 8 hours ahead of Greenwich, England. (Daylight savings not taken into account.)

No. When opals were first found in Australia, they were not thought to be opals because they were a milky white in appearance. Opals found elsewhere in the world were mostly black.

The Great Barrier Reef is primarily composed of coral, which is formed by the accumulation of calcium carbonate skeletons from coral polyps. Additionally, there are some areas where sediments and sandstones can be found.

The full base walk around Uluru is approximately 10.6 kilometers long and can take around 3-4 hours to complete at a leisurely pace. However, visitors are encouraged to start early in the morning to avoid the heat, as temperatures can be very high especially during the midday hours.
