The Island Continent

Australia is the only country that fills an entire continent. It is the smallest continent in the world but the sixth largest country. Australia, called the island continent, is totally surrounded by water — the Indian Ocean on the west and south, the Pacific Ocean on the east, and the Arafura Sea, which is formed by these two oceans coming together, to the north.

The island continent is, in large part, a very dry, flat land. Yet it supports a magnificent and unusual collection of wildlife. Australia is a land of oddities. There are many unusual animals and plants that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Because the island continent was separated from the rest of the world for many years, these animals developed in different ways. Many of the animals in Australia are marsupials. Marsupials are animals such as koalas and wombats whose babies are born underdeveloped and are then carried in a pouch on the mother’s body until they are able to care for themselves.

The kangaroo is perhaps the best known of the marsupials. There are 45 kinds of kangaroos, and they come in a variety of sizes. A baby kangaroo is called a joey. Kangaroos eat grasses and plants. They can cause problems for farmers and ranchers in Australia because they compete with cattle for pastures. Besides the marsupials, the strange animals of the continent include emu and the duckbill platypus.

There are many physical features of Australia that also are unique, including the central part of the country known as “Outback”, which consists of three main deserts — the Great Sandy, the Gibson, and the Great Victoria.Because much of the country is desert, more than half of all Australians live in large, modern cities along the coast. There are also many people living in the small towns on the edge of the Outback, where there is plenty of grass for raising sheep and cattle. Australia rates first in the world for sheep raising. In fact, there are more than 10 times as many sheep in Australia as there are people! A. Match the words with their definitions.

Australia is the sixth biggest country in the world and the smallest continent. It lies between the Pacific and Indian Ocean, about 3,000 km from the mainland of Asia.

It is very far away from Europe and by plane it takes you over 20 hours to get there. Australia is often called Down Under because the whole continent lies south of the equator .

All the world’s climates are found on the continent—from the tropical rainforest in the north to the cool and temperate climates in the south and southeast.

Australia was once a British colony and after its discovery in 1788 people from Great Britain settled there. In the past decades people from all over the world have come to Australia. Today it is a multicultural society .
