Where does Australia mean? Is it Australia?

Australia generally refers to Australia.

Australia is a highly developed capitalist country with Canberra as its capital. As the most economically developed country in the southern hemisphere, the world's largest economy 12, the fourth largest exporter of agricultural products, and also the largest exporter of various minerals in the world, it is called "the country by car".

At the same time, Australia is also the country with the largest number of sheep and the largest export volume of wool in the world, also known as "the country riding on the back of sheep". Australia's population is highly urbanized, and nearly half of its citizens live in Sydney and Melbourne. Many cities in this country are rated as one of the most livable places in the world.

It is also a sports power, hosting many global sports events all the year round. Australia actively participates in international affairs, is a founding member of APEC, and is also a member of the United Nations, the G20, the Commonwealth, the Pacific Security Treaty, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Pacific Islands Forum.

Extended data:

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere. Although the time difference with China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) is only 2-3 hours, the seasons are completely opposite. 65438+February-February is summer, March-May is autumn, June-August is winter, and September-165438+1October is spring. The annual average temperature in the north is 27℃, and that in the south is 65438 04℃.

Australia spans two climatic zones, and the north is tropical. Because it is close to the equator, 65438+10-February is the typhoon period. Southern Australia belongs to temperate zone. The midwest of Australia is a barren desert with drought, little rain, high temperature and large temperature difference. In coastal areas, there is abundant rainfall and humid climate.

The topography of Australia is very distinctive. Eastern mountainous area, central plain and western plateau. The highest mountain in China, Kosi Asco, is 2228 meters above sea level. Near the sea, it is a long and narrow beach with a gentle slope, which slopes gently to the west and gradually becomes a plain. There is the Great Barrier Reef on the northeast coast.

The coastal areas are full of wide beaches and lush vegetation, and the topography here is varied: in the west of Sydney, there are cliffs of the Blue Mountains, in the north of Brisbane, there are tall and beautiful eroded volcanic neck in the Glasgow Mountains, and on the south coast of Adelaide, there is a flat Yuan Ye.

About 70% of Australia's land belongs to arid or semi-arid zone, and most of the central region is not suitable for human habitation. Australia has 1 1 great desert, which accounts for about 20% of the whole continental area.

Australia is the flattest and driest continent in the world. Lake Eyre in the middle is the lowest point in Australia, with an elevation of16m. Only 260,000 square kilometers of land can be used for animal husbandry and planting, mainly distributed in the southeast coastal areas.

Australians like to drink beer. In their spare time, especially on weekends, many people like to go to bars to drink and chat with friends, enjoy music, or barbecue in the park. Australian cities give people an open feeling, with many open parks and green spaces dotted among them.

Most parks in Australia are free, and there are no fences in them. There are paths in and out of the park in all directions. Convenient transportation can also easily bring people into national parks on the outskirts of the city.

Freedom is the best summary of Australians, and Australia has a particularly strong atmosphere of freedom. People are commensurate with their first names (only first names, not surnames), between bosses and employees, and between teachers and students.

In downtown Sydney and Melbourne, it is often seen that white-collar workers or working girls in fashionable suits get together with friends and colleagues at noon on weekdays and sit on the steps in front of buildings to have a simple lunch, such as sandwiches or hot dogs. White-collar workers are also modern metropolises, and the same scene is unimaginable in places like Tokyo or Hong Kong.
