Welcome to the Land Down Under

　　G'Day mate. How ya goin?

　　All over Australia, people will greet you this way. Those who don't know you may offer their right hand to shake. Australians who do know you will likely kiss you on either cheek when they meet up with you. Australians are friendly and casual and they love to have fun. Even when they have not met you before, they might talk to you exactly the same way they would talk to one of their friends. "Aussies" are not often formal and they call most males "mate" and most females "Sheila".

　　Although English is the main language in Australia, there are over 200 other languages spoken there including Cantonese and Mandarin.

　　Both young and old Australians use many slang words in their everyday speech. They call Australia "Oz" and they say that they live "down under." They use the word "loo" instead of toilet. When they want to know if you would like help they will ask: "You right?" If they expect to see you later in the afternoon they'll say: "See ya this arvo."

　　When an Aussie is talking to you, it can seem like they are speaking a language other than English. When they thank you they might say "Cheers." When they agree with something you have said they may say: "Fair Dinkum" or "Ya Reckon?"

　　As if that weren't enough, Australians are well-known for shortening words and ending them with an "o" or an "ie" like aggro to mean aggravated; smoko a coffee or cigarette break; stubbie a bottle of beer and sunnies which are sunglasses.

　　No worries (there's no problem). Grab yourself a cuppa (cup of tea) and a bikkie (a biscuit), settle in under the doona (blanket) and read on. With a bit of hard yakka (hard work) you'll soon know heaps (a lot) about Australia and be able to talk like a ripper (great) Australian!

　　 Geography of Australia

　　DID YOU KNOW? Australia is underpopulated. There is one square kilometre of land for every three people who call Australia home.

　　Australia is the world's oldest landmass. It is known as the island continent. It is the largest island and the sixth largest country in the world. (China is the fourth largest country). It has a very small population for its size - just 24 million people live there. Because of that, Australia is almost the least densely populated country in the world. China has 146 people per square kilometre of land while Australia has just three. However, most Australians live within 100 km of the coast making it one of the world most urbanized populations. In fact, almost all Australians live in the eastern and southern areas of the country.

　　Unlike China, Australia has multiple time zones. In the winter, when it is 8:00 am in Perth, in Western Australia, it is 11:00 am on the east side of the country, in Sydney. It is easy to see that Tasmania, the large island in the south, is part of Australia, but there are also more than 8,000 islands in the surrounding oceans which make up the country. Lord Howe Island even has its own time zone which is 30 minutes ahead of mainland Australia. Some states put their clocks forward one hour in October each year and back again in April to get more daylight during times that people are awake.

　　And that's not all. Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are the opposite of those in China. Australians celebrate the New Year in the summer and the hottest month is January. Is your favourite season spring when the Magnolia trees are in bloom? Don't head to Australia in May to see them. They'll all be dying off at the end of autumn there. Go in October instead. People who live in the northern hemisphere often say Australia is the upside down country because the seasons are reversed. The Australian seasons are:

　　Summer: December to February

　　Autumn: March to May

　　Winter: June to August

　　Spring: September to November

　　Like all countries, Australia gets most of its rain in spring. When you think of dry countries with deserts, Australia is not likely to be the first one that comes to mind. Probably you've seen lots of photos of Australians surfing, sailing and swimming. However, Australia has ten deserts in total some of which get less than 10 cm of rain each year. This means that 90% of the land is uninhabitable. The deserts are mostly located in the centre of the country which accounts for the number of people who live near the coast. One-third of the entire country receives little or no rain every year, making it the driest continent in the world next to Antarctica.
