- Welcome to de Australia
- Welcome to Australia, one of the oldest continents in the world, and the only place in the world that is both a country and a continent!
- Colonization
- The first people to colonize Australia were the British. The reason they colonized Australia was to have more land and resources.
- Climate and Geography
- Most of Australia is desert. The South-East and South-West parts of Australia are the only parts that have fertile soil and mild climate. The northern part has a tropical climate, and is a mix between grasslands and deserts.
- But more than 90% of Australians mainly live near the coast.
- cool features
- Australia has many unique animals, plants, and geographical features. Some animals include 2 crocodile species, 140 snake species, 300 lizards, 378 mammals, and 828 bird species. Australia also has the only mammals that lay eggs on the planet, which are the platypus and echidna.
- Australia also has many plants. There are 35,000 types of plants, 250,000 fungi, and 3,000 species of lichens. For the Geographical features of Australia, there are four main landforms: The western plateau, The eastern Highlands, the Central Lowlands, and the Coastal Plains.
- Culture
- One holiday that most australians celebrate is Australia day, where they celebrate the british who colonized Australia. But for the Aboriginal people, there's no celebration of this, because the Aboriginal lost their land, family, and the right to practice their culture. Another holiday is Anzac Day, celebrated on April 25. This holiday is to mark the first big military action fought by Australia and New Zealand in World War II. Australia's main religion is Christianity, and the main language is english.
- aboriginal people
- The Aboriginal and Torres Strait People lived in Australia for more than 50,000 years before the Europeans colonized Australia. The Aboriginal people used things from the land, they didn't take things from it, unlike Britain. They didn't make buildings, or use any sort of fences. When the British Colonized Australia, they killed the Aborigines people, nearly killing them all.
