The country consists of 6 states and 2 territories16 million people live in Australia. The capital is Canberra The official language is English.Australia is an important producer and exporter of primary products wool, meat, sugar, fruit, iron, gold and so on. Most of the factories are situated near big cities There are 4 big cities in Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth. These cities are also the country's main ports. Canberra was specially planned as a capital. It is a quiet city. All the government buildings are situated there. There no industrial plants in the city. About 300000 people live in Canberra. Sydney is the oldest and largest city in Australia. It was founded in 1788. Sydney is a big industrial centre. About 3 million people now live in the city Australian Parliament has two chambers, the house of Representatives and the Senate. The government of the country is headed by the Prime Minister. Australia is not only far from the rest of the world, it has a bad climate, too The climate is better in the east and south-east, where most big cities have grownup. But the northern coast has too much rain, and the western coast is too dry. The highest part of Australia, and almost all the mountains are near the coast. The whole central part of the country is dry; it never rains, there are no large rivers and no water there. So there is no very rich plant life in Australia want to visit this country because I think it have there interesting history &also this country is differ than other English-streaking countries. |
