the text in a logical order
THE UNKNOWN SOUTHERN LAND.
Even in medieval times
there were stories about a large continent in the Southern Hemisphere. But
Europeans had never seen it. They wondered what it was like and whether it was
inhabited. They called this land terra austral is incognita, or «the unknown
southern land» - Australia.
Nowadays when people
speak of Australia they can mean 3 things: Australia as 1)a continent 2)an
island 3)an independent country. Australia is the world's largest island and
its smallest continent. Asia is the continent nearest to Australia in the
north. The icy shores of Antarctica lie in the south. New Zeland is to the
east. To the west of Australia stretches the vast Indian Ocean. In the east the
continent is washed by the Pacific Ocean.
Australia is a land of
striking difference. In the center of the continent and in the west more than
50% of the land is desert – dry and uninhabited. There are 3 deserts there –
the Great Sandy Desert, the Great Victoria Desert and the Gibson Desert, situated
between them. Naturaly very few people live there. Most of them live on narrow
coasts of the east and south-east. Main cities, where people live among tall
office buildings, automobile plants and busy factories, are also situated
there.
In the north-east
tropical forests cover the coasts. In the mountains of south-east the snow lies
for 7 month of the year.
Australia is divided into 6
states and 2 territories.
New South Wales is
Australia's leading state. Most people live along the east coast, and most of
them are in Sydney. Sydney is also the largest city in Australia.
In Victoria most people
live in the south. Melbourne is the capital of the state and the largest city.
Sheep and wheat are the main products here. Citrous fruits, grapes, peaches,
and apricots are grown along the Murray River.
Queensland is
Australia’s 2nd largest state. Brisbane, its capital, situated on the east
coast. Queensland has long sandy beaches. Its coasts is a popular place for
holiday-makers. The climate along the east coast is hot and humid. It is the
tropical corner of Australia. Bananas and other tropical fruits are grown here.
Most of the land in the south is too dry for farming. Some of Australia’s most
unproductive desert lands occupy the bigger part of the state.
The state of Western
Australia is dry and inhospitable except the south- western corner of the
state. Nearly al of the state’s farms, sheep stations and fruit gardens are
situated here. The rest of the state is dry desert land with very few towns or
lonely cattle stations.
South Australia is the
3rd largest state. Most of the South Australia’s people, farms and industry are
situated in the south-eastern part of the state. Adelaide is the capital and
the largest city. Most of the South Australia is too dry for farming. Farming
very much depends on irrigation or underground water. Some of Australia’s most
unproductive deserts lands occupy the greater part of the state .Wheat and
fruit are grown along the lower part of the Murray River.
Tasmania, the island
state, is sometimes called the apple isle because it produces most Australia’s
apples. Tasmania is one of the few places in Australia that have enough rain
all year. Tasmania is Australia’s leading produce of pears and berries of
different kinds. Potatoes are also grown in some areas.
Northern Territory is
the least populated and least developed part of Australia. Crocodiles still
live in some of swamps along the coast. Darwin is its capital and the largest
settlement in the north. Alice Springs, generally called Alice or the Alice, is
the only town in the south.
The capital of Australia
is Canberra. The city doesn’t belong to any state. It is situated in the
Australian Capital Territory, which occupies an area of 2,432 square
kilometers.
