To most, Australia is thought to be mostly an area of sand and dirt roads with kangaroos
hoping allover, but in reality it has multiple climates due to the large area. The northern part has
a tropical climate, varied between tropical rainforests, grasslands, and part desert. In the south, a
temperate climate and discreetly fruitful soil can be found. With a nation active, large and
variable as Australia, it may be a learning point for the United States of America. With the
legislation and active energy conservation department that is well funded, we may be able to
adapt these ideas and incorporate them into our society and government. However, not
everything in Aussie is so green.
The main focus of this paper will be on the

Due to its location, the seasons in South
Australia are opposite of those here; for example, their summer is from December to February.
Therefore, S.A’s winter is during the months of June-August, however rather than snow, an
annual average of 40 inches of rain occurs. Although temperate, most of South Australia
resembles the red-rock areas of Colorado and New Mexico where the red land meets the bright
blue skies.
An exception to this desert-like landscape is the Southernmost point of South Australia,
known as Kangaroo Island has a rather diverse landscape which includes a beautiful marine life,
caves and caverns, robust fields and majestic deserts. A majority of the Island, and rightfully so,
are homes to several resorts. Between the warm temperatures and clear waters, the island has
become a hot spot for Northern Hemisphere visitors during the months of December to
February. The animals that inhabit this area are just as diverse as the landscape itself including,
but not limited to, pelicans, penguins, dolphins, wallabies, brush-tailed possums, ducks, swans
and waders on 267 species of birds found in various habitats on the island, sea lions, New
Zealand fur seals and, of course, kangaroos.
However, not everything is so crystal clear for South Australia, or the country as a
whole. South Australia is becoming warmer as surface temperature has risen 0.96°C, while
the global average is 0.7°C.
the Sentinelese people have and what type of plants and animals are on the island.
Lastly, at the end of the large island, a gigantic, tall mountain range the height of the Rockies will be the tourist attraction for the people looking for a summer ski. Just like Valle Nevado, the peaks of the ski resorts in the mountains will not have vegetation but the lower parts of the mountains will have a dense vegetation of Alpine trees.
Listed as one of the 1000 places to see before you die , Kangaroo Island is a premier tourist destination located off the coast of South Australia. It attracts mostly tourists from South Australia as it is an easily accessible destination to get to. A short ferry trip across Backstairs Passage on the Sea Link ferry will bring you to the town of Penneshaw. The island “…has become a sought-after tourism destination due to its national parks and the wildlife that exists within them.” The main industry on the island is agriculture but it also has a flourishing food and wine industry.
It could be environmental, governmental or economical. Without the help of all 6 states and 2 territories, our country, Australia, cannot move forward and be successful. My design is

Just like Australia itself, the temperature across New South Wales varies considerably with very high temperatures in NSW’s northwest and very cold temperatures in its southern alpine regions. The rest of the state enjoys a temperate climate

. A case for the most recent drought is the Millennium Drought in the late 2000's and ended 2002, this drought has been recorded the worst on record, however 2006-2010 was also the driest season which brings to the conclusion that the most worst but most recent drought was from the early 2000's to 2010. This drought was called El Niña.
“Making sense of this information and what is known from characteristic of Zone 5 for New South Wales. The climate characteristics are stated as being “Moderate diurnal (day–night) temperature range, near coast to high diurnal range inland with Four distinct seasons: summer and winter can exceed human comfort range; spring and autumn are ideal for human comfort Mild winters with low humidity Hot to very hot summers with low to moderate humidity Widely variable solar access and cooling breeze directions and patterns” Fig 1 table on Page 7 shows that the Prevailing wind direction changes as we progress through the seasons with the majority of the direction being focused within the Southerly and North Easterly direction as depicted in Fig 2 on
Australia is often viewed by the rest of the world as a rather extreme country to live in. To quote the comedy website Cracked.com: “it has a rich and exotic ecosystem supporting fantastic flora and fauna… all of which were eaten by the monsters that live there now” and “it 's primary language is screaming.” Indeed, these jokes come about because of the many examples of dangerous wildlife that call the country home. From the dozens of species of venomous snakes and arachnids on land to the local waters littered with great white sharks, poisonous stonefish, or jellyfish the size of a thumbnail and a sting capable of inducing severe pain, vomiting, and even hallucinations. Having trouble deciding which is the worst between the land and the surrounding sea? Don 't forget about the largest terrestrial and riparian predator on the planet: the saltwater crocodile; in extreme cases reaching up to twenty-one feet in length and known for actively seeking out humans as prey, it is a beast not to be reckoned with. It can be found lurking in the rivers and billabongs as well as the coastal wetlands (it is a saltwater crocodile, after all) of Northern Australia, waiting for a tasty meal to come by. But it can also be seen on land, as well, basking in the warm, Australian sun. So we 'll just chalk that up as a tie.
As I stated before, Australia is home to more than 80% of wildlife which is entirely unique to them,
