Product Description
Australia occupies a huge island in the Southern Hemisphere, located between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Its landscape embraces fertile coastal areas, barren semi-deserts and hill and mountain ranges. The hot, arid desert interior is too harsh an environment to support large numbers of people, so nine out of ten Australians live in cities or urban areas, mostly on the coast. Historically, Australia's wealth was built on the twin foundations of agriculture and mining, and these industries are still important today.
