About Australia
  • One World: Nations Online-Australia
    Australia became a commonwealth of the British Empire in 1901. It was able to take advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II.
  • Australia
    Australia is the smallest continent in the world. Lying southeast of Asia, it is bound by the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Coral Sea to the northeast, the Timor Sea to the northwest, the Indian Ocean to the west and the Tasman Sea to the southeast. The continent consists largely of plains and plateaux, and can be divided into three principal topographical regions.

    is little contrast in overall suicide ratios between australian states and territories,and what to the size of the rural sector with particular regions.
    http://www.ssaa.org.au/ila98oct.html
    Suicide and the Lack of Political Will Paul Peake One of the major charges brought against private firearms ownership by the anti-gun lobby in Australia centres on the role of firearms in suicides, the argument being that if all privately owned guns are removed from the community there will be a corresponding fall in the incidence of suicide. The facts suggest, however, that firearm controls have little impact on overall suicide rates, and the lack of political will in addressing the real issues might be killing hundreds of Australians every year. Table 1 shows that the overall suicide ratio in Australia has altered very little in more than a century. It is reasonable to assume that as the community has become more urbanised and regulatory measures have become more stringent, the degree of private firearms ownership over the same period has declined, yet the suicide rate has nevertheless remained relatively stable. Table 1. Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics data. While the overall percentage of suicides has remained even for more than 100 years, Table 2 shows that suicide by firearm has actually been decreasing for some time. However, alternative methods such as gassing and hanging have been steadily increasing. Table 2. Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics data.

    Organisation Structure
    The MEMBERS , of AusDBF are the regional controlling associations. These regions generally correspond with Australian states or territories. Individual dragon boat crews are affiliated with AusDBF via membership to their regional contolling association. Each regional controlling association is responsible for the development and control of dragon boat racing in their state or territory.  The NATIONAL COUNCIL , is the AusDBF policy making body and is made up of delegates representing each member. Full Members send 4 delegates and Associate Members 1 delegate to meetings of the National Council. The National Council generally meets twice a year - the AGM held in conjunction with the National Championships in April, and again around November/December each year. The  BOARD OF MANAGEMENT Organisation History Dragon Boat Racing in Australia Dragon boat races are held in Australia from Broome to Brisbane, from Perth to Sydney and from Adelaide to Darwin. The first Australian involvement with dragon boat racing occurred in 1980 when the Penang Tourist Development Corporation invited the WA Surf Life Saving Association to send a team to the Penang Festival. This was followed the next year by invitations from the HKTA to WA and NSW to send teams to what was then considered the unofficial world championships on Hong Kong Harbour. In 1984 Sydney held the inaugural Sydney Dragon Boat Festival at Farm Cove. The Western Australia Dragon Boat Association formed in 1984. All other mainland states and territories have subsequently formed State Associations to administer dragon boat racing in their region

    Anderson announces funding to states for Audit implementation projects
    DPIE98/93A 31st July, 1998
    The Federal Government today announced the first 7 projects, worth $2 million, under the National Land and Water Resources Audit. The Audit is funded under the Federal Government's Natural Heritage Trust and will provide an independent, objective assessment of the extent of degradation arising from approximately twenty key types of land and water problems, including an economic analysis of each problem. The seven projects are:
  • Decision support for catchment committees (West Gippsland, Victoria) Development of farming systems and improving catchment health (Fitzroy Catchment, Queensland) Supporting and managing land use impacts and change (Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia) Rangelands trend and condition assessment for the Tropical Savannas (Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia) ... Sustainable use of water resources (Tasmania) ; and Native vegetation mapping to support vegetation management in the low-rainfall cropping areas (Walgett Shire, New South Wales)
  • Mr Anderson said State and Territory commitment to the Audit is well demonstrated by the quality of projects put forward. "All of the projects address key issues as States and Territories work with rural communities to develop Regional Australia," he said.

    The responsibilities of governing such a vast land area are shared by Australia's federal government and the governments of the six States and two self-governing Territories.
    European settlement began in New South Wales in 1788, at Sydney, the nation's largest city and host of the 2000 Olympic Games. Sydney's Harbour Bridge and Opera House are national icons, and its airport is the country's major international gateway. Victoria is the smallest of the mainland States but the second most populous and the most densely populated. Its capital, Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, hosted the Olympic Games in 1956. Victorians' enthusiasm for sport is legendary and the nation stops each November for the Melbourne Cup, Australia's premier horse race.
    Queensland stretches from the tropical rain forests of Cape York into the temperate zone. Its northeastern coastline is fringed by the Great Barrier Reef. The capital of Queensland is Brisbane. Three international airports, in Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville, service visitors from overseas.

    With no native vines in Australia the vines were imported mainly from Europe. Vines have flourished in five of Australia's eight states and territories for over 200 hundred years. Australia boasts some of the oldest vines in the world. It is not uncommon to find Shiraz vines, called Syrah in some parts of the world, over 100 years old. Many are on original rootstock because Australian vines were not crippled by the phylloxera bug like those in California or Europe. And Australia didn't experience Prohibition, either. Historically, grapes were planted near the areas where people lived, often within city limits. When more Europeans settled in Australia at the beginning of the 19th century, they scouted out areas that resembled the rolling hills and gravelly soils of their homelands. As Australia's wine culture grew, more scientific methods were used to determine which combinations of soils and climates would be best suited to grapes. New appellations-or geographic indications as the Australian's call them-are still being developed.

A number of us are beavering away at this task right now! A best-possible system must be excellent on the basis of fundamental principles of democracy, justice, equity, efficiency, affordability and so on, but must also be understandable and plainly desirable to enough Australians to succeed in the referendum(s) that count.

The Head of State issue that has dominated the republic debate is merely one of many relating to our system of government that call for serious attention as we reach the Centenary of Federation By taking gainful advantage of the lessons learned, knowledge gained and changes realised over the past 100 years, we are ever better equipped to design a new system of government to reflect current and future needs and aspirations of Australians, and which would be an improvement on the present system in all significant respects. Australia is both over- and under-governed On the basis of international comparison, Australia is clearly very "heavily" governed at the sovereign state/territory and commonwealth levels, yet very "lightly" governed (arguably to the extent of chronic neglect) at the local and regional levels.

    Australian Antarctic Territory
    How big is it and why does the size change ?
    Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest and windiest continent in the world. This land and ice mass is also the fifth largest continent in the world. However this area varies from season to season. In the summer months, the continent is fourteen million square kilometres in area with a diameter of 4500 kilometres. In winter, the freezing of the surrounding seas effectively doubles the size of the continent to more than thirty million square kilometres. This would make it three times the size of the United States of America. The actual rocky landmass of Antarctica, is only seven million square kilometres in area, with the coastline extending 7500 kilometres. There are a few rocky free zones along this coastline and these regions are called oases. The Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) was established in 1933 and was the largest single claim (42%) made by any country to sovereignty of Antarctica.

    INTRODUCTION Australia in general Australia has a land mass roughly the same size as Western Europe or the USA (excluding Alaska). Settlement of Australia, by people now known as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples or Indigenous Australians, occurred some tens of thousands of years ago. Settlement by people from Great Britain and subsequently other countries began in 1788 resulting in a present day population of about 18.7 million with a diversity of ethnic backgrounds. About 80 per cent of the population lives in cities. There are large regions which have only small, scattered settlements or are unpopulated. Australia is a developed country with a generally high standard of living. System of government

    Partnerships and the specification of client needs for vegetation information
    The Audit’s Vegetation Theme Work Plan (Cofinas et al. 1999) was developed in collaboration with State, Territory and Commonwealth agencies and was designed to specify and schedule a series of project tasks to:
    • collect and construct a consistent set of core vegetation data sets;
    • derive data needed to prepare theme reports;
    • develop methods to analyse these data;
    • produce and communicate final outputs and reports; and
    • provide a forum for negotiating methods, contributions, partnerships and synergy between the Audit and other activities at regional, State and Commonwealth levels.
    The products specified in the work plan were:
    • a framework for the National Vegetation Information System that includes nationally consistent specifications for data attributes and standards;
    • an archive of all vegetation data received and translated into the data compiler according to the specifications and standards;
    • metadata meeting Australian New Zealand Land Information Council standards (page 0) and agreed page 1 attributes;
