Read the following descriptions of famous cities / places in Australia and match them
with the names from the chart.

a) Australia's number one city is the oldest settlement in Australia, today a vital metropolis.
The Olympic Games held here in 2000 confirmed the city's reputation as a civilised, fun-
loving and friendly place. Sights of the city include the Opera House and the Harbour.
b) A magnificent sight that runs along the coast of Queensland. Considered one of the
world's natural wonders, it is the biggest structure made by living organisms on earth.
Hundreds of islands dot the area. About 20 of them have resort facilities, too.
c) Australia's second city is a place of contradictions. Visitors come for its shopping, restau-
rants, nightlife and sports events. Some pleasant excursions from this city include Phillip
Island and the Great Ocean Road.
d) The 'capital' of Northern Australia. It is closer to Jakarta than it is to Sydney and it is clos-
er to Singapore than it is to Melbourne. So, it is no surprise that it looks outward to Asia.
Visitors can find Kakadu National Park nearby.
e) A town of politicians, diplomats and bureaucrats, a picturesque and modern 20th century cre-
ation. Sights to see include the new Parliament House and the National Museum of Australia.
f) A city built by early colonists from stone. It was once renowned for its large number of
churches. The city centre is surrounded by nice parkland. Nearby is the famous Barossa
Valley wine region.
g) Australia's third largest city and the state capital of Queensland. Since playing host to a
series of major international events, including the 1982 Commonwealth Game and Expo
88 it has developed into a lively, cosmopolitan city
h) The capital of Western Australia, a modern city on the Swan and Canning rivers. It claims
to be the sunniest state capital in Australia. It is isolated from the rest of the country.
Visitors can find Freemantle, a historical port town nearby.

Form groups of three and in three minutes find the names of as many Australian cities
as you can in the magic square. (There are six altogether.)

From Australian History

A. Somewhat later, Joseph Banks suggested that Britain could solve overcrowding
problems in its prisons by transporting convicts to New South Wales. In 1787 the
First Fleet with 750 male and female convicts set sail under the command of Captain
Arthur Philip.

B. Europeans began to arrive in the 16th century: Portuguese navigators were followed
by Dutch explorers and an enterprising English pirate, William Dampier.

C. Captain James Cook sailed the entire length of the eastern coast in 1770. After going
round Cape York he claimed the continent for the British and named it New South
Wales.

D. Post World War II immigration brought a flood of European immigrants, many of

them non-British. The immigrants have since made an enormous contribution to the
country, its culture and economy. In the 1980s Australia began to accept large num-
bers of Asian refugees, especially from Vietnam.

Aborigines were pushed off their tribal lands and new settlers used their lands for
farming and mining.

G. Australia became a nation when federation of the separate colonies took place in
January 1901, although many of the legal and cultural ties with England remained.

The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is also called the Eighth

Wonder of the World. It is the biggest structure
made by living organisms on earth and it is the
world's largest marine park. Its coral reefs and
islands stretch nearly 3220 kilometres through the 13
tropical waters of Far North Queensland. The
reef's length forms a protected lagoon 65 kilome-
tres wide.
The coral reef was produced over millions of
years. Coral is formed by millions of tiny coral polyps. The reef contains about 300 dif-
ferent species of corals and thousands of fish. The reef is endangered by humans and
also by natural causes: it is slowly being eaten by starfish.

VI. TEXT 5

The best known of Australia's animals are probably the koala and the kangaroo. Read
the text, then decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).

Koalas are marsupials, having dense greyish fur and feeding

chiefly on the leaves and bark of eucalyptus trees. They eat
around 4 hours a day and sleep about 20 hours. Their diet is
only eucalyptus tree leaves. Koalas are very picky. They eat
just 20 out of the 500 different types of eucalyptus leaves
14 and they only go for the crispiest and freshest ones. This
kind of diet gives them only little energy to move. This is the
reason for their lazy lifestyle'. They do not drink any water
and are awake only at nighttime.

Isolation from other lands for about 55 million years made

Australia a unique place for marsupials, like kangaroos.
There are about 50 species of kangaroo, some standing as tall
as a man and others as small as a cat. The red kangaroo is the
largest kangaroo. These animals are capable of hopping at
great speed, soemtimes exceeding 50 km/h. The baby kan-
garoo is called a joey and is 2cm long when it is born. The
babies are hairless.The joey won't stop living in its mother's
pouch until it is 10 months old. Rival male kangaroos some-
times wrestle with each other and fight for dominance.

1. A male red kangaroo can run as fast as 50km/h. D

2. The baby kangaroo lives on the back of its mother. D
3. Koalas drink a lot of water. D
4. Joeys live in their mother's pouch for a month. D
5. Koalas sleep about 20 hours a day. r
6. Koalas eat only special types of eucalyptus tree leaves.

Australia's animals are unique in the world. Study the following list and find out
which animals belong to the indicated class.

Birds :

a) echidna b) emu c) kookaburra d) galah
