New South Wales: There live the most people of Australia (more the 6 million). The half of this 6 million people live in Sydney. Sydney is the oldest and biggest settlement of Australia. Last year were the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney.


Victoria: This is the smallest part of Australia. It has 230.000 square kilometers and is about 3 times bigger than Austria. But it only has 4.6 million inhabitants. The biggest city is Melbourne. All houses and buildings are built like in Europe.

The Aboriginal People: They have lived in Australia for around 50.000 years and they are the oldest civilization in the world. They have a special relationship with their land and their spiruality. The Aboriginal People have their own body painting and dance style. They use boomerangs for hunting animals.The Ayers Rock is a very mystery red rock in the center of the country and it is a part of the Aborigines.


Climate: The climate in Australia is very strange for us, because you can spend Christmas on the beach or you can go skiing in August. The fact is that the Australia’s seasons are the opposite of the northern hemisphere. The summer starts in December and winter starts in June.


Flora and Fauna: Australia’s isolation for more than 55 million years has created very special animals and plants, which you cannot find nowhere else in the world. Very famous animals of Australia are the Koala and the Kangaroo.


Finally I thing it would be a good idea to do a journey to Australia because it is one of the most interesting countries of the world. And one tip for your Journey to Australia: Don’t try to drink more beer than Australian people because you won’t win.I hope I told you some interesting things of Australia and thank you for your attention.
