What is the proportion of Chinese in Australia?

The Commonwealth of Australia (Australia for short), the capital of Canberra, is located between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and consists of islands and overseas territories such as Australia and Tasmania. It faces the Coral Sea and tasman sea in the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the Indian Ocean and its marginal seas in the north, west and south. The total area is 7692000 square kilometers and the coastline is 36735 kilometers long. The northern part has a tropical climate, most of which belongs to temperate climate. The country is divided into six states and two regions.

Australia is a typical immigrant country, and the earliest aborigines in Australia now account for less than 1% of the total population. The total population is 25.44 million (2065438+July 2009). 74% are British and Irish, 5.6% are China, 2.8% are indigenous, and the other nationalities are mainly Italians, Germans and Indians. About 63.9% residents believe in Christianity, and 5.9% residents believe in Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism and other religions. The population with no religious belief or unknown religious belief accounts for 30.2%.

The topography of Australia

The topography of the Australian mainland can be divided into three different terrain distribution areas: east, middle and west. The Australian continent is located in the Indian Ocean plate, so there are few tall landforms formed by plate movement. The geological age of the mainland mountainous plateau is very long. After a long period of external force, the surface of the Australian continent is a relatively undulating plain, and the overall elevation is not high, with an average elevation of only about 350 meters.

The topographic unit in the eastern part of the Australian mainland is a great watershed, which runs north and south and is basically parallel to the coastline. The total length is about 3000 kilometers, the width is about 160 to 320 kilometers, and the average height is about 800 to 1000 meters. Mount Kosiasco, which is 2230 meters above sea level, is its highest peak. The great watershed is an ancient mountain range. Under the long-term weathering and erosion of external forces, its height has been declining and its surface is undulating.
