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.
