History
• Before the Westerners found Australia, only Australian aborigines lived there.In the 16th century, the Europeans began to explore Australia. In 1606,the Spanish navigator—Luis Vaes de Torres found the place, but he didn’t explore it further. In the same year, a Dutchman—William arrived in the continent .Then in 1770,the English navigator Captain James Cook discovered the eastern castle of Australia and named it New South Wales . .Soon,he claimed that the continent belonged to England •
• The federal government is separated into three branches:
• The legislature: the bicameral Parliament, defined in section 1 of the constitution as comprising the Queen(represented by the Governor-General),the Senate, and the House of Representatives; • The executive: the Federal Executive Council, in practice the Governor-General as advised by the Prime Minister and Ministers of State; • The judiciary: the High Court of Australia and other federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the Governor-General on advice of the Council.

第五部分澳大利亚第二十七章国土与人民澳大利亚的位置在世界地图上很容易找到。

澳大利亚在南半球,换句话说,它处于赤道以南。

对欧洲人来说,澳大利亚是在地球的另一端。

这就是为什么在西方,澳大利亚被普遍认为是"在下面的国家"。

澳大利亚从南纬10°延伸到南纬44°,从东经113°延伸到东经154°。

澳大利亚面积770万平方公里,是世界上最小的一个大洲。

但澳大利亚是一个大国,是俄国,加拿大,中国,巴西和美国之后的世界上第六大国。

澳大利亚是唯一的只包含有一个国家的大洲。

澳大利亚东面被塔斯曼海和太平洋包围,西面是印度洋,北面是珊湖海,阿拉弗拉海和帝汶海,南面是南印度洋和大澳大利亚湾。

澳大利亚有着三亿年以上的地质史,是世界上最老的大陆之一。

在世界上几个大洲中,它是最平坦、最低的并且是唯一的一个人们能开着汽车到达最高山顶的大洲。

一半以上的土地海拔不到300米,只有5%的土地超过海拔600米,平均海拔高度为330米。

所以,澳大利亚没有很高的山,最高的山峰是科修斯科山,海拔2255米。

Ⅰ.地理结构澳大利亚的地理结构相当简单。

它一般按地形被划为三个地理区,西部大高原,东部山地,以及被称为中东部低地的大低地带。

依照传统,人们使用一些不精确的名称来表示这个国家的各个地区。

"远内地"通常指内地、西部高原的中部及其北部平原,红色中心指的是澳大利亚中部有红色和棕黄色土壤的地区。

1.西部大高原西部高原是由古代岩石构成的广阔高地,几乎占了整个大洲的三分之二。

它从澳大利亚西部的海岸平原突起,覆盖了几乎整个西澳大利亚洲、北方领土的较大部分、南澳大利亚的很大一部分,以及西昆士兰的部分地区。

这里的土地非常平坦,海拔大约只有300米。

高原的大部分地区非常干燥。

河流很少,大部分地区只有在雨季才有水。

高原的腹地由大沙沙漠、吉布森沙漠,维多利亚大沙漠以及纳勒博平原构成。

2.东部山地东部山地更为人所知的名称叫大分水岭,从北昆击兰北部起,沿着东海岸向南,直到南塔斯马尼亚岛。

Australia 【正式国名为:澳大利亚联邦】
Cf. The British Commonwealth (of Nations) (英联邦)
*Location of the country in the world: it is in the southern
hemisphere (南半球) between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean.
The wet season in Australia lasts about 6 months in spring and summer, between November & April. It is hotter than the dry season, with temperature between 30 & 50 degrees Celsius/centigrade (摄氏). This is because of the high humidity (湿气; 湿度) during the wet, which is caused by large amounts of water in the air. During the wet season, there is a lot of rain, which frequently causes flooding.
