The continent of Australia, including the island of Tasmania, was separated from the other continents of the world many millions of years ago. Because of this, many animals and plants live in Australia that are not found anywhere else. These include animals like the kangaroo, the koala,and the platypus.





The native Australians are called the Australian Aborigines.

The climate is tropical in the North and temperate in the South


Captain Cook took possession of the land for the British and Australia was people by British convicts (or prisonners) who were sent there.

At the beginning the economic development was slow, and based on the export of wool.

Today, it has become a major tourist attraction. Many people come and visit the natural reservations where they can admire the unique Australian animals such as koalas, kangaroos wallabies, but also the sacred rock Uluru and the Great Barrier Rief among the natural wonders.





Sydney's skyline with the Opera House is famous all over the world.
