Natural Resources
There are great natural resources in Australia such as Iron ore, nickel, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, uranium, diamonds, opal, silica, and others, which are considered to be one of the largest in the world (Bada, 2018). As a matter of fact, Australian is known to be second after China when it comes to the production of gold (Bada, 2018).
Mining in the country/continent is considered to be a great beneficiary natural resource for the Australian economy (“Mining,” 2018). Looking into the statistics of the mining production in 2016, Australia had a 9.2% total of gold production in the world after mining about 287.3 metric tonnes of gold (“Mining,” 2018). As for other natural resources like gas and coal, Australia takes the lead in production worldwide (“Mining,” 2018).
Petroleum is also a beneficiary for the growing economy of Australia, which is mainly produced in the Western region of the country (“Petroleum Reserves,” 2018). Part of their petroleum resources consist of crude oil, natural gas, and condensate that are exported to foreign markets and local use (“Petroleum Reserves,” 2018). The success of these resources had a tremendous decline from 1980 up to 2000.
By the early 2000s, the oil reserve was estimated to reach 58 billion barrels and 3,921 billion cubic meters for natural gas (“Petroleum Reserves,” 2018). Another great natural resource that helps the economy of Australia grow is liquified natural gas that by 2004, the country accounted for 6% in global trade (“Petroleum Reserves,” 2018).
自然資源
澳大利亞有大量自然資源，例如鐵礦石，鎳，鋁，銅，銀，金，鈾，鑽石，蛋白石，二氧化矽等，被認為是世界上最大的資源之一（Bada，2018年） 。事實上，在黃金生產方面，澳大利亞人僅次於中國（Bada，2018）。 該國家/大陸的採礦被認為是澳大利亞經濟的巨大受益自然資源（“採礦”，2018年）。根據2016年採礦業的統計數據，在開采了約287.3公噸的黃金之後，澳大利亞的全球黃金總產量為9.2％（“採礦”，2018年）。至於天然氣和煤炭等其他自然資源，澳大利亞在全球生產中處於領先地位（“採礦”，2018年）。 石油也是澳大利亞經濟增長的受益者，澳大利亞主要在該國西部地區生產石油（“石油儲備”，2018年）。他們的部分石油資源包括出口到國外市場和當地使用的原油，天然氣和凝析油（“石油儲備”，2018年）。從1980年到2000年，這些資源的成功經歷了極大的下降。 到2000年代初，石油儲量估計將達到580億桶，天然氣儲量為39,210億立方米（“石油儲量，” 2018年）。另一個有助於澳大利亞經濟增長的重要自然資源是液化天然氣，到2004年，該國占全球貿易的6％（“石油儲備”，2018年）。
Geography
Australia is located between the Pacific and Indian oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. The country and continent, yes Australia is both, is also part of the region known as Oceania (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020). Canberra is Australia’s capital located in between two important economic and cultural parts of the country known as Sydney and Melbourne (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020).
In fact, Australia is known by other descriptions such as “the oldest continent,” “the last of lands,” and “the last frontier” (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020). These descriptions/names derive from the way the country was constructed (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020). The descriptions/names also derive from the fact that after Antarctica, Australia was also considered to be the last continent to be exploited by Europeans (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020).
Agriculture/Economy
Australia is one of the world’s leading producers of wool through sheep farming (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). In 1970, the sheep population peaked which caused a major drop in production by the beginning of the 21st century (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). Till this day Australia supplies one third of the world with wool (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). Australia is a very important country/continent when it comes to sources of exports which are cereals, meat, sugar, dairy produce, and fruit (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). One of the countries leading grain is wheat which is grown in every state (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). Wheat is a great source of export for Australia as they distribute four fifths to Eastern Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific region (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15).
Ethnic Groups
Australia is home to nearly 25 million people. During the first half of the 20th century there was a nine-tenth of European ancestry, more than one-fifth is foreign-born, and a small but very important growing amount of Aboriginal population (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). New Zealanders and Chinese are part of the non- European group (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). The is a growing population of asia immigrants from countries like China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and the Philippines (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15). Australia is home to the Anglo-Celtic heritage, two of their ethnic groups are the Chinese and Italians which has had an important presence since the 19th Century (Rickard, Veevers, Powell, Ride, Roe, Twidale, Lange., 2020, June 15).
地理
澳大利亞位於南半球的太平洋和印度洋之間。這個國家和大陸，就是澳大利亞，也是大洋洲的一部分（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年）。堪培拉是澳大利亞的首都，位於該國的兩個重要經濟和文化地區之間，分別是悉尼和墨爾本（里卡德，韋弗斯，鮑威爾，雷德，羅伊，特威代爾，蘭格。2020年）。 實際上，澳大利亞以“最古老的大陸”，“最後的土地”和“最後的邊疆”等其他描述而聞名（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年）。這些描述/名稱來源於該國家的建設方式（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年）。描述/名稱也源於以下事實：在南極洲之後，澳大利亞也被認為是歐洲人最後利用的大陸（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年）。
農業/經濟
澳大利亞是全球通過綿羊飼養羊毛的主要生產國之一（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年6月15日）。 1970年，綿羊數量達到頂峰，到21世紀初導致產量大幅下降（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年，6月15日）。直到今天，澳大利亞為世界提供了三分之一的羊毛（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年，6月15日）。就穀物，肉，糖，奶製品和水果的出口來源而言，澳大利亞是一個非常重要的國家/地區（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年6月15日）。穀物是世界上領先的國家之一，在每個州都種植小麥（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年，6月15日）。小麥是澳大利亞的重要出口來源，因為它們將五分之四的小麥分佈到東亞，中東和太平洋地區（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年，6月15日）。
族群
澳大利亞有將近2500萬人。在20世紀上半葉，歐洲血統的十分之一，其中五分之一是在國外出生的，並且原住民的數量很少但非常重要，其增長非常重要（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，蘭格·特威代爾（Twidale），2020年，6月15日）。新西蘭人和中國人是非歐洲人的一部分（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年，6月15日）。越來越多的亞洲移民來自中國，越南，香港和菲律賓等國家（Rickard，Veevers，Powell，Ride，Roe，Twidale，Lange。，2020年，6月15日）。澳大利亞是盎格魯凱爾特文化遺產的故鄉，其中兩個族群是中國人和意大利人，他們自19世紀以來就佔有重要地位（里卡德，韋弗斯，鮑威爾，羅德，羅伊，特威代爾，蘭格。2020年，6月15日） ）。
Australia is a country/continent filled with extraordinary, impressive, one of a kind areas if you are planning to travel there for any occasion which we will elaborate more on them. There are great natural resources in the country such as Iron ore, nickle, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, uranium, diamonds, opal, silica, and others, which are considered to be one of the largest in the world (Bada, 2018). As a matter of fact, Australian is known to be second after China when it comes to the production of gold (Bada, 2018).

Canberra is Australia’s capital located in between two important economic and cultural parts of the country known as Sydney and Melbourne. Australia being a small continent and country their population consists of 24.99 million, their mainland from west to east extends nearly 2,500 miles (4,000 km). In fact, Australia is known by other descriptions such as “the oldest continent,” “the last of lands,” and “the last frontier.” These descriptions/names derive from the way the country was constructed. During the Precambrian and Paleozoic time the foundation of Australian landform was formed, which was about 4.6 billion to 252 million years ago. The descriptions/names also derive from the fact that after Antarctica, Australia was also considered to be the last continent to be exploited by Europeans.
