AUSTRALIA

Australia is situated on the island continent. It is a highly developed industrial- agrarian country.

Its area is about 8000000 square km2. The capital of Australia is Canberra, which became the capital only in 1927.

From 1767 to 1867 Australia was a place where criminals were sent from Britain.  That is why the official language of Australia is English.

Australia is one of the most unusual and exotic counties of the world. Such unusual animals as a kangaroo or a koala-bear originate from Australia. As for the nature, the famous trees of Australia are the eucalyptus and the Australian acacia or mimosa, the national emblem of the country.

Australia is the most driest continent on the earth. About one half of its territory is occupied by deserts and semi-deserts.

The kangaroo is a national symbol of Australia and does not live on other continents. They are herbivores and cannot walk backwards. Kangaroos are very common — their number in Australia is greater than the number of people.
