Australia- the land of wonders Australia is a huge, wonderful country yet people do not possess much knowledge about its diversity and wonders. The following text provides basic information for those who would like to visit the country someday and for those who simply want to know more about that distant part of the world. 1 The official name of Australia is The Commonwealth of Australia. Many Australian citizens are of British origin. After gold had been discovered in Australia in 1850s, first British immigrants settled there and now their influence can be seen in many aspects of life. For example: English is an official, national language, Australian people drive on the left and often play cricket-just like the British. Additionally, the head of state is still the British monarch. Of course, later on thousands immigrants came from other European countries and from Asia. In 1980 s and 1990 s many Polish people settled there. Australia consists of five states: Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. The country can be also divided into two territories: The Northern Territory and the Canberra Capital Territory. As most such big countries, Australia has a variety of climates: tropical rainforest climate in the Northern Territory and northern Queensland, mild temperature climate in Victoria and Tasmania in the south-east, desert and semi desert in the most of the land. As a result, much of the western and central parts of the country are uninhabited and its population is only about 18 million people. Most Australians live in the southeast, where the biggest Australian cities have developed. 2 The biggest Australian city is Sydney. It is inhabited by 3 million people, and it is famous for its beautiful harbour, harbour bridge and opera house. The Sydney Opera House has a magnificent sail-like structure. It was opened in 1973 and has become one of the busiest performing art centres. About 1,000 rooms, many performance spaces, halls and theatres are situated there. The house produces a range of entertainment from classics to the contemporary; it presents musicals, opera, ballet, modern dance and all sorts of musical forms like symphony 3
concerts, jazz, etc. Sydney is the biggest Australian city but the capital of the country is Canberra. It is not in any of the states themselves but functions as a separate capital city like Washington D.C. in the USA. Canberra has a new parliament building. The Parliament House, completed in 1988, is a national symbol, a showcase for Australian design, craftsmanship, materials and ideals. Other worth visiting cities of Australia are Melbourne and Alice Springs. The first one has mastered the art of mixing the old with the new. Gracious old buildings are close to dynamic new architecture. New Federation Square can be considered as the most ambitious and complex project ever undertaken in Australia which has changed the face of the city. Visitors can explore Melbourne s history taking part in a tour known as the Golden Heritage Mile. The tour takes in Old Customs House, Parliament House, the Old Treasury, Windsor Hotel and other examples of 19th century architecture. Those tourists who prefer visual arts can visit the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. Alice Springs, the other city mentioned above, lies in the centre of the country and is described as a combination of heritage and modern facilities. You can visit there the aboriginal art and culture centre, where the Arrernte people share their art, craft, food and legends. Alice Springs is an ideal touring base for an outback holiday, giving easy access to many natural wonders: Uluru, Kata Tjuta National Park, Watarrka National Park (Kings Canyon) and the MacDonnell Ranges. 3 Uluru (Ayers Rock) is the world s biggest monolith at 3.6 kilometres long, two kilometres wide, 348metres high. It changes colour in different lights, particularly at sunrise and sunset. Many stories relate to how ancestral beings formed the rock. Since Uluru-Kata Tjula National Park is home to the Anangu people, aboriginal guides share these ancient tales with visitors on tours around Uluru s base. One of the best ways to enjoy Ururu is a motorcycle tour. 4. Tourists coming to Australia can also go to Kangaroo Island (in the south of the country) which is famous for fresh air, pristine beaches and wildlife. Here visitors will find undisturbed flora and fauna, including seal sand penguins. However, Australia is better known for other unique animals such as the kangaroo, the koala and the platypus. Another beautiful natural wonder of Australia is the great Barrier Reef, which consists of more than 1000 islands, from sandy cays to rain forest isles. It covers 2,500 kilometres from Cape York in the north and Bundaberg in the south. People can reach coral sites by air or water taxi, and scuba dive or snorkel. Dive sites are sprinkled up and down the Queensland coast. 5. Australia offers wonderful views, beautiful nature and very good tourist facilities. Tourism has become very important in recent years but the main sources of income for the country are mining, industry and agriculture. Australia is a leading producer of sheep wool, meat, wheat, fruit, wine and sugar cane. It has various minerals: diamonds, coal, iron, lead, manganese, stannum. 6. An interesting fact about Australia is existence of so called flying doctors. The doctors work for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, or REDS and care for all who live, work and travel the vastness of Australia. Another curiosity is connected with education. Because the country is so huge, many children do not go to school but study at home and talk to their teacher by radio. This system is also quite unusual, typical for the Australian continent.
