The major cities of South Australia are Adelaide (capital city) and its outlying cities of Elizabeth and Gawler; Port Pirie, Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, and Mount Gambier. With the exception of Mount Gambier, these cities are all on the coastline.

Major towns which are set inland include Murray Bridge and Renmark.

There are many more towns which are important economically for South Australia - too numerous to list. Bear in mind that, what constitutes a "city" in Australia is often considered a mere "town" overseas, because to Australians, a city is any centre with a population exceeding about 20,000.

There are many native animals of South Australia. Kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, potoroos and other members of the kangaroo family are quite prevalent. The Southern hairy-nosed wombat is the state's faunal mammal emblem. Koalas used to be native until they were wiped out in the early part of the twentieth century, but they have since been reintroduced quite successfully on Kangaroo island and parts of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Australia was originally established as a penal colony, or convict settlement. The first Europeans to permanently settle in the country were British prisoners, and the officers and marines who led and guarded them.

The faunal emblems of South Australia are the hairy nosed wombat for the mammal, the piping shrike for the bird or avian emblem, and the leafy sea dragon for the marine emblem.

If youre referring to the CBD itself then probably the Malls Balls.

If wombats moved to other places, they would come into contact with placental mammals, which would eat all of the food that the wombat might eat, and perhaps eat the wombat, thus making it die out.

To begin with, Coober Pedy is a small town, not a city. Its permanent population is just a couple of thousand.

Secondly, only some homes and churches are underground. Much of the town is built above the ground. Coober Pedy is unique for its underground homes, which are dug into the earth to help shield the residents against the summer heat and winter nights.

Earth provides a natural insulation against extremes of temperatures. While the summer average is around 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), summer days in Coober Pedy can reach a maximum of 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). Winter nights can reach the other extreme, being bitterly cold. Also, the enclosed underground homes have better protection against the occasional duststorms that wing their way across the Australian desert.

The name "Coober Pedy" is derived from the aboriginal words Kupa pita or Kupa piti meaning White man in a hole or burrow. Coober Pedy is characterised by its homes dug into the ground to insulate people from the extreme heat of the area.

The most recent available population figures for South Australia are for June 2013. At this time, the population of South Australia was approximately 1,670,800.

The British simply established settlements. These were originally comprised of convict labour under the guard of British military. As they required more land they simply evicted the indigenous population. These had been seriously weakened as a result of the ravages of diseases imported by the British, and they were no match for British weapons. They started of by making settlements that were built and serviced by the convicts that the prisons in Britain were overflowing with and maintaining a military presence. as a result of this more business people were attracted as well as the convict that were freed becoming part of the business of the community It grew from there.

The first attempt to settle Victoria occurred in 1803, when Lieutenant David Collins established a convict colony near present-day Sorrento. Lack of fresh water and unsuitable soil for agriculture caused Collins to abandon the southern coast settlement and move across Bass Strait to Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).

The next, more successful attempt to establish a permanent settlement in Victoria was in 1836, when John Batman began the town of Melbourne, and the Henty brothers took up land near Portland.

Various early Dutch explorers ventured into South Australia's western coastline during the 1600s. South Australia could be said to have been discovered in 1627, when Thijssen recorded the first observations of the South Australian coast.

The main explorer credited with charting the South Australian coastline and naming numerous points was Matthew Flinders, in 1802. At the same time, French explorer Nicolas Baudin was charting the coastline of what is now South Australia.
