About Australia

Australia, the heart of Oceania, is both a country and a continent, ringed by the Indian and Pacific oceans, its landscapes running from the red-rock Outback to tropical rainforest and reef-fringed coasts. Its capital, Canberra, lies inland in a federal territory of its own. Unique wildlife such as kangaroos, koalas, and platypuses evolved through eons of isolation.

• ·Australia's capital is Canberra, a purpose-built city chosen as a compromise when Sydney and Melbourne both wanted the honor.
• ·Australia's Dingo Fence runs about 5,600 kilometers across the outback and is generally considered the world's longest fence.
• ·The Great Barrier Reef off Australia's northeast coast is the largest coral reef system on Earth, the biggest structure made by living organisms.
