PREP
Australia

YEAR ONE
Australia is a country surrounded by the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

YEAR TWO
Australia is made up of six states and two territories. The state of Tasmania is an island that is located to the south of the Australian mainland.

YEAR THREE
Australia’s population in 2022 is estimated to be almost 26 million people. The population is heavily concentrated on the east coast regions of Australia. Despite this, Australia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.

YEAR FOUR
Australia has many natural wonders including The Great Barrier Reef, which is the world’s largest coral reef and is situated off the north-east coastline. The tallest mountain on mainland Australia is Mt Kosciuszko, sitting at 2 228 metres above sea level, and is part of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales. Lake Eyre, when completely full, it is the largest lake in Australia however it also has the lowest natural point in Australia at 15 metres below sea level. One of the most recognisable natural landmarks in Australia is Uluru, a large sandstone formation in the centre of Australia. This site is one of the most important indigenous sites in Australia.

YEAR FIVE
Australia is considered a wealthy country, and in 2018 became the country with the highest average wealth in the world. Despite this Australia has among the highest house prices and some of the highest household debt levels in the world. Australia is very rich in natural resources, and is a major exporter of agricultural products (wheat and wool), minerals (iron-ore and gold) and energy (natural gas and coal). Our largest export markets are Japan, China, United States of America, South Korea and New Zealand. Surprisingly in Australia the main agricultural products produced are sugar cane, wheat and barley, however cattle, for both export and domestic meat, generates the most money.

YEAR SIX
Australia is the sixth largest country in the world and is the oldest, flattest and driest continent. The landscapes and climates vary including deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, and mountain ranges in the south-east.
Indigenous Australians have inhabited Australia for approximately 65 000 years. European exploration of Australia began in the early 17th century, and in 1770 Australia’s eastern coast was claimed by Great Britain. Settlement throughout the colony of New South Wales began on 26th January 1788, and this population grew steadily through the decades. By the 1850’s most of the continent had been explored and an additional five self-governing colonies had been established. On the 1st January 1901 the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia.
