Australia is an island and it is also a continent .It is very big-
about 4,000 kilometres from east to west,and about 3,700 kilometres
from north to south.Today people from many different origins live in
Australia.It is a modern, multi-cultural society.Australians speak English
because the first settlers who arrived there,about 250 years ago,were British.

But for 50,000 years only the Aboriginal people lived in Australia.
They were nomads.They walked across the country and lived off the land
They ate plants and wild animals.To find their way they used things
like plants,rocks and rivers.They were important because they gave directions,
but they also had a religious and cultural meaning.

One of these rocks is a sacred place for Aborigines.Ayer`s Rock is in the heart of Australia.
It is a huge rock which dominates the flat land all around.It is 300
metres tall,but continues under the ground for 3 kilometres. It is like an iceberg in the
desert. In the Aboriginal langauge the rock is called Uluru.They
believe that their ancestors lived there

Today there are still Aborigines in Australia,but they are only about
1% of the population.Many of them live in towns.People all over
the world are interested in their culture.Aboriginal culture is one of the oldest cultures in the world.
