EN THE AUSTRALHAN CQUTIACK Down Under , Australia, the smallest continent which features wide open spaces and majestic scenic beauty, bounded by the Coral and Tasman seas on the east, the Timos and Arafura seas on the north, and the Indian Ocean on the west and south. Lying just south of the equator, 1,800 miles southeast of Asia. Australia has a centre of vast dry desert, and on the east its Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral formation in the world of 1,250 miles of delicately colored islands along the shores of Queensland. Its geological isolation made it a cradle and sanctuary for the evolution of creatures different from those found elsewhere in the world: the duck-hilled platypus, the spiny anteater, e.g., survivors from a most primitive step in mammalian development. The next step up the 2 evolutionary escalator are the marsupials, such as the tiny bandicoot and the huge MANIA kangaroo. Australia's birds are also unique, e.g., raucous laughing kookaburra, the seven-foot flightless emu, the speedy lyrebird, and the mimicking Bower bird. Its flora is also interesting, such as the King Karri tree, the eucalyptus or gum Which supports the koalas, and the wattle tree, the golden blooms of which are the nation's emblem. Australia was discovered by the Dutch East India Companyes traders in the 17th century, and rediscovered by Capt. Cook for Britain in 1769. His country used it as a place for convicts. Today, the descendants of English, Scots, and Irish immigrants and some Aborigines inhabit the large cities and some of the Out Back producing fine sheep and wool, leather goods, gold, iron, bauxite, and black opals.
