What are the characteristics of Australian industry?

The characteristics of Australian industry are:

1. Australian industry is mainly concentrated in the densely populated southeast coastal areas, and Sydney is the largest industrial city in China. Australia covers an area of 76,868.5 million square kilometers and is surrounded by the sea. It is the only country in the world whose territory covers the whole continent. Australia has many unique animals, plants and natural landscapes, and is a multicultural immigrant country.

2. Australia's industries are mainly manufacturing, construction and mining. In fiscal year 20 16/20 17, Australia's mining output value was 2149.84 million Australian dollars, up13.4% year-on-year; The output value of the construction industry was 378.306 billion Australian dollars, up 0.9% year-on-year; The manufacturing output value was A $363.969 billion, down 2.3% year-on-year. Sydney is its industrial center.

3. Australia's industrial sector has long been dominated by light industry, and most departments have made a fuss about sheep, such as wool washing, shoemaking, meat and clothing. Moreover, these industrial equipment and technologies are very backward, and the scale of factories is very small, and they are mainly concentrated in coastal cities such as Sydney and Melbourne.

4. The biggest feature of Australia's industrialization is the cultivation of a number of small and medium-sized technology and manufacturing enterprises. Compared with countries that rose by chaebol after World War II, the main pillar of Australia's industrialization is a large number of small enterprises with less than 100 people. Since the 1980s, the Australian government began to support small manufacturing enterprises, and the number of small enterprises has been increasing.

There is almost no machine manufacturing industry in Australia, especially no precision machine manufacturing industry. After all, relying on the unique animal husbandry, Australians can live a leisurely pastoral life by selling wool and various fields, and earn a lot of money. Who has time to rack their brains for industry? But in any case, the routine of getting rich by reselling primary products was still feasible in the early industrial age, and it became more and more ineffective after World War II.
