Australia

I would like to visit Australia because of the weather and beaches. The scenery is beautiful, and I have always wanted to visit.

Human Geography:

Comedy is an important part of Australian identity. It is classified as dry, irreverent and ironic. It seems like it would be a great thing to experience.

Issue:

A big issue for me is the land clearing. The consequences of land clearing include relined salinity and soil erosion. These are major concerns to the landcare movement in Australia. I would bring awareness and tell about the problems of doing this.

Land Geography:

Australia has a land area of 7.692 million square kilometers. The western plateau region is generally flat, though broken by various mountain ranges. The Eastern Highlands lie near the eastern coast of Australia, separating the narrow eastern coastal plain from the rest of the continent. Eastern Australian temperature forests have the greatest relief, most rainfall, and most variety of flora and fauna. Between the Eastern Highlands and the Western Plateau, lie the Central Lowlands, which are made up of Australia’s largest river systems.

Fun Facts:

- Lake Hillier has a bright pink color and even scientists aren’t sure why.

-There are more kangaroos than people.

- Australia has over 10,000 beaches

- You are required to vote in Australia.
