Red Kangaroo

This big animal has a long body about 65 inches with a tail 42 inches long that acts as a steering rudder. They weigh up to 198 pounds with the males usually bigger than the females. They have long pointed ears. Their front legs are small whereas their back legs are big and very strong with long feet. Their long powerful tail is used for balance when hopping and leaping. The kangaroos, especially the females, are blue-gray in color despite their name. The male Red Kangaroos have short dense woolly fur and are colored pale red to a brick red. In some areas the kangaroos may be both red. Even though these animals look cuddly, they are to be approached with caution. They have evolved with a large claw attached to its hind leg; therefore this makes these marsupials very dangerous

Koala

The koala is a small bear-like, tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupial which averages about 9kg (20lb) in weight. Its fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" because it receives over 90% of its hydration from the Eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves. ie during droughts etc. The koala is the only mammal, other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves.

Hairy nosed Wombat I live in dry, open areas and my home is a burrow in the ground. I eat grass, sedges and the roots of shrubs and trees. I have a large blunt head with a muscular neck. My ears and eyes are small. I have stubby, powerful legs, which are excellent for running. I use my sharp claws to dig burrows and look for food. I am special because I am a marsupial, a mammal with a pouch for my baby. I am also very rare and I am a protected species in Australia.

The bushranger Ned Kelly:  is one of Australia's greatest folk heroes. He has been memorialised by painters, writers, musicians, and film makers alike. More books, songs and websites have been written about the Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang than any other group of Australian historical figures. When people are asked what they think of Ned Kelly, the answers are usually fairly extreme. They either see him as a hero who fought for his family and friends or a bushranger who robbed banks, stole livestock and murdered policemen. A brief history of Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang Edward 'Ned' Kelly was the first-born son of an Irish Catholic couple. His father was an ex-convict and mother a migrant. He was born in June 1855 and was executed in 1880 at 25 years of age. Ned's Armor In his teens he was a 'bush-worker' - ring-barking, breaking in horses, mustering cattle, and fencing. From this he graduated to cattle duffing and horse stealing. During Ned's short life, he was arrested for assault, horse stealing, bank robbery, and finally a reward for £100 was put out for Ned and Dan Kelly for attempted murder of a policeman. Later the reward was increased to £1000 for each of the Kelly Gang for the murder of three policemen at Stringybark Creek.   After more bank robberies, the Kelly Gang's had their 'last stand' in the small town of Glenrowan, Victoria, where the gang took 60 hostages in a hotel. In the battle with police three gang members - Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart - were killed and a wounded Ned was arrested and charged with the murder of a policeman. Ned Kelly was tried and convicted of the murder of Constable Lonigan at Stringybark Creek and hanged at the Melbourne Gaol.

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef: stretches for more than 2000km along the north-east coast of Australia. Comprising more than 2900 reefs, some 940 islands and surrounding waters, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest natural feature on the earth. The Great Barrier Reef is a site of remarkable variety and beauty on the north-east coast of Australia. It contains the world's largest collection of coral reefs, with 400 types of coral, 1,500 species of fish and 4,000 types of mollusc. It also holds great scientific interest as the habitat of species such as the dugong ('sea cow') and the large green turtle, which are threatened with extinction.

The Great Barrier Reef Inscribed 1981 The Great Barrier Reef, one of Australia's first World Heritage Areas, was inscribed on the World Heritage List in recognition of its outstanding natural universal values: as an outstanding example representing the major stages in the earth's evolutionary history; as an outstanding example representing significant ongoing ecological and biological processes; as an example of superlative natural phenomena; and containing important and significant habitats for in situ conservation of biological diversity.

It is the world's largest World Heritage Area extending 2 000 kilometres and covering an area of 35 million hectares on the north-east continental shelf of Australia. Bigger than the entire area of Italy, it is probably the best known marine protected area in the world. The Great Barrier Reef's great diversity reflects the maturity of the ecosystem, which has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years. It is the world's most extensive coral reef system and is one of the world's richest areas in terms of faunal diversity.

The Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area contains more than just coral reefs. It also contains extensive areas of seagrass, mangrove, soft bottom communities and island communities. Contrary to popular belief, the reef is not a continuous barrier, but a broken maze of coral reefs and coral cays. It includes some 2 800 individual reefs, of which 760 are fringing reefs. These reefs range in size from less than one hectare to more than 100 000 hectares, and in shape from flat platform reefs to elongated ribbon reefs. The Great Barrier Reef provides habitats for many diverse forms of marine life. There are an estimated 1 500 species of fish and more than 300 species of hard, reef-building corals. More than 4 000 mollusc species and over 400 species of sponges have been identified. Other well-represented animal groups include anemones, marine worms, crustaceans (prawns, crabs etc.) and echinoderms (starfish, sea urchins etc.). The extensive seagrass beds are an important feeding ground for the dugong, a mammal species internationally listed as endangered. The reef also supports a wide variety of fleshy algae that are heavily grazed by turtles, fish, sea urchins and molluscs. The reef contains nesting grounds of world significance for the endangered green and loggerhead turtles. It is also a breeding area for humpback whales, which come from the Antarctic to give birth to their young in the warm waters. The islands and cays support several hundred bird species, many of which have breeding colonies there. Reef herons, osprey, pelicans, frigate birds, sea eagles and shearwaters are among the numerous sea birds that have been recorded. The World Heritage property is also of cultural importance, containing many middens and other archaeological sites of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin. Some notable examples occur on Lizard and Hinchinbrook Islands, and on Stanley, Cliff and Clack Islands where there are spectacular galleries of rock paintings. There are over 30 historic shipwrecks in the area, and on the islands are ruins and operating lighthouses that are of cultural and historical significance. About 98 per cent of the World Heritage Property is within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, the remainder being Queensland waters and islands. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park was declared in 1975 with the purpose of preserving the area's outstanding biodiversity whilst providing for reasonable use. This has been achieved using a spectrum of zones ranging from General Use Zones to Preservation Zones. In very broad terms, these zones allow ecologically sustainable activities, but all have an overriding conservation objective. Most reasonable activities such as tourism, fishing, boating, diving and research are permitted to occur but are controlled through zoning and management planning to minimise impacts and conflicts with areas of high conservation value and other users. Today, the great majority of the Marine Park is still relatively pristine when compared with coral reef systems elsewhere in the world. An independent report published in 1997 concluded that the Reef is in good condition and is being managed effectively. These are also the findings of two major workshops to which over 100 scientists and management experts contributed. Both these workshops have now been summarised in the report titled State of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area 1998, released in November 1998. The Australian Government and State Government have a cooperative and integrated approach to management of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is the Australian Government agency responsible for overall management, and the Queensland Government, particularly the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, provides day-to-day management to the Authority. Integrated management is also assisted by: a Commonwealth Act specifically for the Marine Park that, if necessary, provides over-riding powers; complementary legislation for most adjoining State waters; formal agreements with Queensland, and with various government departments, industry, research institutions and universities; and strategic zoning plans and site-specific management plans. GBRMPA's current work program stems from four issues that have been identified as being critical for achieving adequate protection and management of the Reef in the short to medium term: water quality and coastal development; fisheries; tourism and recreation; and conservation, biodiversity and world heritage

SYDNEY

The city of Sydney, one of the most visually spectacular cities in the world, is set on a magnificent natural harbor with two of world's most striking structures on the edge of the city centre. They are the massive iron arch of the Sydney Harbor Bridge and the unique architecture of the Sydney Opera House on a long point into the harbor. Sydney founded in 1788 is Australia's oldest and largest city (3.5 million people). A large portion of Sydney's residents were born overseas and immigrated giving the city a multicultural mix manifesting itself in a rich diversity of restaurant cuisines.

Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge , both at the northern edge of the city centre on either side of Circular Quay are striking structures that make Sydney one the most recognizable cities in the world. Stairs ascend the giant pylon of the bridge and a walk across the bridge allows magnificent view of the city.

Sydney Harbor Bridge. This small suburb is filled with buildings from the early days of Australia's history. It used to a slum by the port. The lack of development meant it retained its original stone buildings and now that it has been tidied up and the buildings restored it caters solely to tourists. The local pubs are full of overseas tourists at night. During the day it is full of cafes restaurants and cheap souvenir shops. It is a pleasure just to wander around the area looking in interesting buildings along the way.
