Australia Level 6 Upper ( Editura: Macmillan, Autor: Jennifer Gascoine ISBN 9780230470255 )

Australia is the sixth largest country in the world and the only one that covers a whole continent. The largest state, Western Australia, is about the same size at just over 23 million. Today, the indigenous or native people of Australia, the Aborigines, make up nearly 3 % of the total population. The rest is a mix of many different cultures.

As well as being a big  country, Australia is home to some of the wolrd ;s biggest things : Uluru, the largest rock in the world ; the Great Barrier Reef, the world ' s largest coral reef system ; and the saltwater croodile, the wolrd's biggest reptile. Not content with naturally occuring  big things, the Australians have actually built a number of Big Things themselves as tourist attractions, including the Big Banana, the Big Merino, and the biggest of all Australia's Big Things, Larry the Lobster.
