Australia – a great place to be

When people think of Australia, they often picture beautiful beaches, lovely weather, and lots
of dangerous animals – such as salt water crocodiles and taipan snakes! It’s true that we
have these things, but Australia is more interesting than you might think.

Australia is in the South Pacific and it’s the world’s biggest island. We don’t have any
borders with other countries and our closest neighbours are Papua New Guinea and East
Timor. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It’s thirty times bigger than the
United Kingdom, but nearly three times more people live in the UK. In the centre of the
country there is a lot of desert. Most Australians live near the coast, where the country’s
biggest cities are.

There are plenty of exciting cities to visit here, including Canberra, our capital, and Sydney,
which is famous for its Opera House and amazing harbour. However, it is Melbourne which
is near the top of the list of the ‘most exciting cities of the world’. It has wonderful beaches, a
great nightlife, fantastic shops, and lots of arts festivals and exhibitions.

Australia is a fascinating place to visit. We’re very proud of our country and we usually
welcome tourists. Our way of life isn’t very formal, but we often take presents when we visit
people. If someone invites you to dinner, it’s a good idea to take along flowers or wine for
your host.

The good weather means we can do lots of outdoor activities. Summer lasts from December
to February, and winter from June to August. However, Australia is enormous and the
weather isn’t the same everywhere. The north has two types of weather – very wet and very
dry! The centre stays dry all year round. But in the south, the weather changes from season
to season. Summer in the south is hot, but winter can be cold, wet, and windy – you can
even go skiing in the mountains!

Come and visit.
