AUSTRALIA.
The World of Australia.
It is the world's largest island and its smallest continent. The continent
is south of the Equator. Much of the land is a useless desert. Great
deserts cover nearly 2,000,000 square kilometers.
Most of the continent is sunny most of the year. Its population is
very small for such a huge country. Many people live far away
from towns in the outback. Severe droughts, floods and cyclones
happen very often on the continent. The people suffer from
limited fresh water.
Australian Wildlife
Thanks to Australia is cut off from the rest
of the world, its wildlife is so unique.
Australia's geological isolation has resulted
in many species not found elsewhere. The
most peculiar feature in Australia's animals
is pouch. The best-known are kangaroo,,
the koala bear, the ostrich, the possum.
Possums live in Central and
South Australia. They eat
insects, berries, fruit, and dog
food. Wild possums do not
live very long. People kill
possums as food.
Koalas live in Australia.
The
oala is the best known and
most loved animals in Australia. They
seldom drink, and take enough water from
leaves. The koala sleeps in the trees for
most of the day, but moves and feeds at
night. A koala’s life in the world is about
12years, but they have been known to live
for 15years in captivity.

From the History of Australia
Millions of years ago, Australia
was part of a huge continent
called Gondwanaland. But
then Gondwanaland slowly
moved and formed several
different areas of land. So,
Australia became cut off from
the rest of the world. Probably,
due to its geographical
position, Australia was the last
continent inhabited by the
white man.
In 1768 Capitan Cook sailed from England to the Pacific
Ocean. For many months the sailors didn't see any land.
In 1770 the sailors saw the land with many different trees
and beautiful flowers on the coast. It was Australia.
