Australia's ecosystem is truly unique, housing rare animals not found elsewhere on Earth. The country boasts around 12,000 species of flora and fauna, 9,000 of which are unique to Australia. Apart from kangaroos and koalas, Australia is home to various rare birds like emus, kookaburras, and lyrebirds. Wild camel herds can also be found in Australia.

Australia is renowned for its excellent surfing spots and perfect waves. Sailing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, and many other sports are also popular. Diving or snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef is a must-do activity. For those wanting to explore the continent, a road trip to visit the Blue Mountains, Daintree Rainforest, Uluru, and the Great Ocean Road is an excellent idea.

About 80% of the population resides along the coastline. Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane are the most densely populated cities in Australia. description
Geography and Climate
Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere and is the smallest, flattest, and driest continent. The country is officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia and comprises the mainland of Australia, the island of Tasmania, and various smaller islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Australia is surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, boasting a coastline that stretches for almost 60,000 km. Along the northeastern coast of Australia lies the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef.
In the east, the coastal plain is separated from the central part of the country by the Great Dividing Range, a mountain range stretching for 4000 km along the eastern and southeastern coasts from Cairns through Brisbane, Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, and down to Eden. The New England Plateau, Blue Mountains, and the Australian Alps are all part of this range.
The western part of the continent is a vast plateau ranging from 300 to 450 meters above sea level. Much of Western Australia is an arid desert. Almost 70% of Australia's land area is classified as the outback – extensive and sparsely populated arid inland regions.
The northern part of Australia is a tropical climate zone. From December to February here are quite rainy, while winters (June to August) are sunny and dry. In the capital of the Northern Territory, Darwin, the air temperature is relatively stable, around +25-35°C in summer and +15-25°C in winter.
In the centre of Australia, primarily occupied by deserts, the average summer daytime temperature reaches around +35-36°C, and on certain days, it can exceed +40°C. In winter, temperatures hover around +20°C during the day. In the Great Victoria Desert, temperatures can drop to +10°C, and occasional frosts occur in some years.
On the western coast, in Perth, the climate is milder. Summers are usually hot, around +30°C. In winter, temperatures cool down to +18-20°C during the day and +6-8°C at night.
More than 90% of Australians live in cities located along the coastlines of the continent.
For example in Melbourne, temperatures typically range around +25-27°C in summer and drop to +10-12°C, reaching as low as +5°C at night during winter.
In Tasmania experiences a temperate climate. Summer daytime temperatures do not exceed +22°C, while in winter, temperatures are around +10-12°C. Frosts occur at night in winter, but snow can only be found on mountaintops
