South Australia

South Australia's second largest city, after its capital of Adelaide, is the city of Charles Sturt, a relatively new city incorporated in 1997. Charles Sturt was proclaimed on 1 January 1997 following the amalgamation of the former City of Hindmarsh Woodville and the City of Henley and Grange. The City of Charles Sturt has a population of around 105,000.

The three largest cities in southeastern Australia are Sydney (capital of New South Wales), Melbourne (capital of Victoria) and Adelaide (capital of South Australia).

Canberra, the nation's capital, follows Adelaide in size.

The telephone country code for the United States (plus Canada and some islands in or near the Caribbean) is +1, followed by a three-digit area code and a 7-digit subscriber number.

On a mobile phone, just dial the number in international format, beginning with +1 (including the plus symbol).

From a landline phone, substitute the international access prefix for the plus symbol. The default international access prefix for outbound calls from Australia is 0011, but there are other prefixes that may be used for special purposes. If in doubt, check with your long distance telephone provider.

Coober Pedy is a desert area in southern Australia. Like any desert, it can have extreme temperature swings. The highs can be over 115º F, and the lows can dip into the low 30s. Deserts get so hot because there is little to no cloud cover. During the day, the sun blasts the sand with heat, and the sand releases the heat back up into the air.

Adelaide, capital of South Australia, was named after Queen Adelaide, a German princess. She was the wife of William IV, the English king who reigned from 1830 until he died in 1837.

Adelaide's full name was Adelheid Amalie Luise Theresa Carolin of Saxe-Meiningen. After she married the heir to the British throne in July 1818, she changed the spelling of her name, anglicising it from Adelheid to Adelaide.

The name for the new city was chosen by the English authorities, but selecting the site, surveying the Adelaide Plains and planning the city and naming the streets was done by Colonel William Light in 1837.

The average annual rainfall for South Australia is 236mm. A large area of the state is extremely dry, while the ranges and south-east are relatively wet. Overall, South Australia is the driest Australian state.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports there are 200 different languages spoken by immigrants. Which would suggest close to that number of nationalities live in Australia. A further 60 plus languages are spoken by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

Adelaide, and SA generally was a free settlement, unlike the other colonies of the time which were developed as penal colonies, as a result of this more of the population were religious and churchgoing than the other states and hence the needs for more churches. Interesting, today, Adelaide is the most atheistic capital city in Australia.

Adelaide is the capital of the State of South Australia.

Death Valley in the Mojave Desert in California is the driest desert in the United States.

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.

No.

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.

In terms of man made landmarks: Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Machu Picchu in Peru, the Nazca Lines, the Floating Islands on Lake Titicaca and the Moai statues of Easter Island.
