Слайд 5CULTURE
Australia is very much a multi-cultural nation, having enjoyed waves of
immigration starting with the Australian Aboriginals 40,000 years ago, followed by the English 200 years ago. Since the Second World War, Australia has received millions of migrants, with the population roughly tripling over a period of fifty years. However, although Australia is similar in size to the continental USA, its population is still only around 20 million and is heavily concentrated in the major coastal cities; central Australia is essentially a wildly beautiful but uninhabited desert.
Much of the Australian life-style revolves around the outdoors and sport. Australians like to relax actively by bush-walking, skiing, surfing, sailing, swimming, or any other activity that takes them into the sun and open air.
Слайд 6A LITTLE HISTORY
In 1836 Colonel William Light arrived at Holdfast
Bay (now named Glenelg) to claim the region as a British colony. Adelaide was chosen for a capital, and the first Governor (Captain John Hindmarsh) named it after the King of Englands wife.
The colony nearly went bankrupt, due to slow progress, but British funds saved it. By the mid 1840's the colony was able to support itself, and was self-governed by 1856.

for 430 km, the Flinders Ranges consists of spectacular peaks and valleys, providing a unique contrast between the dry, stony land and the richly lined rock-faces of native gums and wattles. The best known feature of the Flinders Ranges is the Wilpena Pound, an immense, elevated basin covering about 50 square km and encircled by sheer cliffs.

Слайд 14FOOD
Australian cuisine has the most diverse range, quality, and inventiveness than
many others in the world. However, it took Australia some time to evolve from the scenes of meat pies, Vegemite sandwiches, and sausage rolls to the scene of dishes such as "seared kangaroo fillet with wilted beetroot greens and roasted onions". The culinary art of Australia only luxuriated in the 1990s
Слайд 15FOREST
Today in Australia, the rainforest and monsoon forest vegetation survive in
a narrow broken band from the Kimberleys to Cape York Peninsula and down to Tasmania, encompassing a variety of forest types ranging from wet and dry tropical in the north through subtropical to wet cool temperate in the south.
During the Ice Ages of the past two million years the rainforests contracted to areas even smaller than now, only to expand again when temperatures and rainfall increased. The surviving, relatively small refuge areas provide us today a unique record of the origin, evolution, and migration of Australian flora and fauna.
Слайд 18AVON VALLEY NATIONAL PARKS
From summer
to winter, from north to south, and from high outcrops to deep river and stream valleys, the forests of Avon Valley National Park are constantly changing. The Avon River flows in winter and spring when the river churns over spectacular rapids. During summer and autumn the river diminishes to a series of pools in a bed of granite boulders and tea-tree thickets. The park features forests and granite outcrops, panoramic views over the Avon Valley and the chance to see a wide variety of birds and wildlife.
