Australia is a country and the world's smallest continent, with impressive cities around its fertile coastal areas and a vast interior outback, largely unpopulated except for aborigines and a few ranching and mining communities. New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory reflect different aspects of Australian life, but all reveal their English and still-evident aboriginal heritages. Some of the animals unique to Australia are featured.
