Australia, or the Commonwealth of Australia, as it is officially called, is situated on the island continent. It also occupies the Island of Tasmania and some minor islands round the coast of the continent.
It is a highly developed industrial-agrarian country. Its area is about 8 million km2. It is the only state in the world that occupies the territory of a whole continent.
The capital of Australia is Canberra, which became the capital only in 1927.
From 1787 to 1867 Australia was a place where criminals were sent from Britain. That is why the official language of Australia is English.
Almost one half of Australian territory is occupied by deserts and semideserts. For quite a long period of time it was thought to be useless for economic development. But it is rich in coal, iron ore, bauxites, uranium, lead and many other mineral resources.
For almost a century the production and export of sheep wool was the basis of the economy of the country. Now the most important industries are oil, chemical, ore mining, radioelectronics, and food industry. The country exports agricultural products and raw materials.
As for the nature, the commonest trees of Australia are the eucalyptus and the Australian acacia or mimosa, the national emblem of the country. Such unusual animals as a kangaroo or a koala-bear originate from Australia.
Australia is one of the most unusual and exotic countries of the world. A significant feature of modern Australian society is the representation of a lot of cultures drawn from many lands by its people.
Historically part of the British Empire and now a member of a Commonwealth of Nations, it is a relatively prosperous and independent nation.

Столица Австралии- Канберра, стала столицей лишь в 1927 году.
С 1787 по 1867 год Австралия была местом, куда отправлялись преступники из Англии. Именно поэтому официальным языком Австралии является английский.
Почти половину территории Австралии занимают пустыни и полупустыни. В течение довольно долгого времени они считались бесполезными для экономического развития. Но они богаты углём, железной рудой, бокситами, ураном, свинцом и многими другими полезными ископаемыми.
Почти столетие производство и экспорт шерсти овец являлся основой экономики страны. В настоящее время наиболее важными отраслями являются нефтяная, химическая, горнорудная промышленность, радиоэлектроника, а также пищевая промышленность. Страна экспортирует сельскохозяйственную продукцию и сырьё.

Once, when I was about 10-11 years old, I travelled to Pennsylvania. Me and my family decided to go to the Niagra falls. It was my mom forever lasting dream that she just really wanted to come true.
We went together as a family. Me, my dad, my mom and my brother. When we got there, we realized how crowded it was. Everyone was everywhere. But that didnt stop us to continue going to see the falls.
When we finally got a glimpse of the falls, we were all so mesmerized. It was so beautiful. We had a tour guide as well who was telling us the history of the waterfalls. He told us how a man once well down the falls and survived the fall. But the way he died in the near future, was by stepping on a banana peel and falling.
Finally, once we were done sighting the falls, we went to our rented car. And started driving to New York city where we reserved a hotel. But halfway on the way back, my brother realized he forgot his favorite toy kitty somewhere. We were already 2 hours away from the Niagra falls and there was no way we could go back just for a toy. But luckily when we got back to our hotel, my dad asked a security guard through a phone call, to look if he found it. And guess what! He did! The joy all of us felt was so great! we have found my brother favorite toy!
