He was commissioned by the Dutch East India Company and led the expedition to explore the western coast of New Guinea and parts of Australia. His crew comprised sailors, navigators, and other personnel necessary for such exploratory voyages of the time.

Surely you jest?

Victoria is a state with the second-highest population in Australia. Melbourne alone has over 3 million people. It is not possible to list the street names for this state. You would need individual street directories for each town and city.

26 degrees latitude and 430 degrees longitude do not exist on Earth's surface as the latitude ranges from -90 to 90 degrees and the longitude ranges from -180 to 180 degrees. If you meant 26 degrees S latitude and 130 degrees E longitude from Australia, it would be in the Indian Ocean southwest of Australia.

The devastating bushfire that ravaged Victoria on 7 February 2009 was known as the Black Saturday Bushfires. It was one of Australia's worst bushfire disasters, resulting in significant loss of life and property.

For strictly "snowplay" (as opposed to skiing), MtDonna Buang is regarded as the closest snow destination to Melbourne. It is about an hour's drive from Melbourne's eastern suburbs, and near the town of Warburton.

Hanging Rock, Victoria, at Mt Macedon, is 718m high.

Approximately 2000 homes were destroyed in the Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria, Australia in February 2009.

The areas where many of the bushfires occurred in Victoria in 2009 are characterised by densely treed mountain slopes. Fires move more quickly uphill, so this meant that not only did the fires move through the countryside rapidly, but they were fed by the fuel of the thick vegetation. This resulted in more intense fires which were very difficult to extinguish.

the flying time from Melbourne Australia to Florida us is 23hr 35min .

Approximately: Latitude:-37.471308°, Longitude:144.785153°

there is about 23 hours flight between the two cities

Yes!!!!!!!!!(how could they) people were lighting fires deliberately but most fires were caused by lightning and other fires. Some fires were suspected to be caused by cigarette butts & power tools

No, there are no active volcanoes in Melbourne. Melbourne is not located in a geologically active area where volcanoes are likely to occur. The closest volcanic activity is in other parts of Australia, such as in Victoria's western region or in eastern states.

It depends on the time of year. Melbourne pratices daylight savings. If we are talking the time difference for today 1/27/2010 the time in Melbourne now is 7am 1/27 and the time in Florida would be 3pm 1/26.

Industrial Zoning 3 in Melbourne refers to a zoning classification that designates certain areas for industrial use.

It made people have to start their lives over. People lost almost everything. Some lost their jobs. Some lost their homes, cars and other possessions. But some had to go through the devastation of losing a loved one.

The Victorian bush fire hit most of Victoria's bushland, but it is the environment that was hit the hardest. As one of the worst burn-offs that Australia has seen, it has obviously had a great affect on the wildlife. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has estimated that wildlife injury and death would tally more than a million. Many of the surviving wildlife suffered burns and other injuries. A species of possum, the Leadbeater's Possum, had its only known habitat burned, putting it under extreme threat of extinction. Of course, the plants in the bush were most affected, and this has had, and will have, impact on the prospects of the many animals who need the vegetation for survival (like koalas and possums), who have all lost vast areas of habitat. Also, regrowth in the burned areas will affect run-off rates, availability of water, and infrastructure, such as dams, and dam maintenance for decades. The greater environment has not gone unscathed either with evidence of smoke from the fires, found high over Antarctica.
