Nature of Australia 
Australia is the driest continent on the Earth. The unique climate and the isolation of Australia 
from other continents explain the existence of unusual plants and animals. 
The commonest tree of Australia is the eucalyptus. In the drier areas there is the Australian 
acacia or mimosa. In those areas one can also find strange bottle trees. They preserve water in 
their trunks. 
Australian animals are also very unusual. Among them there are kangaroos, duck-bills, koala 
bears, and others. 
Population and Cities 
Australian population is about 23 million people. The natives of the country are called 
Aborigines. Now they comprise a very small part of the country’s population due to the former 
extrusion of the indigenous people in the past. 
There are 5 big cities in Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane. Canberra 
was specially planned as a capital. All the government buildings are situated there. 
Sydney is the oldest and largest city in Australia. It is a big industrial centre. About 5 million 
people live in the city. 
Attractions in Australia 
Australia has a lot to offer to tourists. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral 
reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. 
The most famous building in the country is the Sydney Opera House. Its roof looks like sails. It 
is a masterpiece of architecture. More than 5,000 people can visit concerts, operas, theatre 
performances and other events. 
Kakadu National Park is in Australia’s Northern Territory and covers about 20,000 square 
kilometres. It is a wetland with over 200 kinds of birds and 1,700 plant species. It is also the 
home of Australian crocodiles.
