Australia

Well I thought I should dedicate a page to the little part of the world that I live in. This is some photos of places I have been (although I havent been to that much I must admit)

This is a photo of a little road I was driving on up the coast in 1993 when bush fires were raging.

This is some of the local dingos on Fraser Island (off the coast of Queensland)

Just a nice photo of Foster which is a coastal town in Northern NSW

Well, I have to do the traditional Kangaroo photo...

I love pelicans!

Myths About Australia
NO....

We dont go around in Acubra hats and stubbie shorts drinking Fosters.

We do not have Koalas and Kangaroos as pets, nor do we see them unless we go to a zoo. Koalas are endangered and Kangaroos are considered as pests by farmers.

We do not all live within a kilometre of a beach and walk around in our swimming costumes all year round.

We do not live in the outback eating grubs in towns where inbreeding is the done thing! There is about 19 million people in Australia and the majority of us live in cities. The largest city in Australia is Sydney with a population of close to 4 million.

Australia is not an ISLAND....it is a continent.

Australia has 6 states and 2 territories:

Queensland (yellow)
New South Wales (pink)
ACT (not shown - between NSW & VIC)
Victoria (bottom green)
South Australia (brown)
Tasmania (bottom grey)
Western Australia (grey)
Northern Territory (top green)
