All about Australia
Australia is both a country and a continent. It is the smallest continent and the sixth largest country by area. It is famous for its unique animals, such as kangaroos, koalas and platypuses, and for its huge red Outback.
The capital of Australia is Canberra, not Sydney or Melbourne. The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system, lies off the coast of Queensland. Australia is also home to many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures that are thousands of years old.
