THE LAND
Australia is an island bordered on the western shoreline by the Indian Ocean, on the east coast by the Pacific Ocean and to the south by the southern, or Indian, Ocean.
The <sic>Australia</sic> coastline <reg>encloses</reg> an area almost the size of the United States and more <reg>than</reg> half as big again as Western Europe. It is the world's sixth largest <reg>country</reg>, but the continent.
Stretching for 2,000km (1,240miles) off the northeastern coastline is the Great Barrier Reef, a vast complex of island and Coral Reef.
The flat and semi-arid Great Western Plateau covers much of Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and a part of Western Queensland.
A famous landmark on the plateau is Ayer's rock which is a single stone with a circumference of 8km (5 miles).
Australia is the lowest of all continents.
Its <reg>average</reg> height above sea level is only 300m (1,000ft), <reg>while</reg> the average for the rest of the world is 700m (2,300ft). Unlike all other continents, Australia has no permanent snowfields.

ALL ABOUT KOALAS
This part of QUEENSLAND is also very popular with Koalas.
As the area develops, there is a constant struggle between the need for land and the Koala's need for the eucalyptus trees they use for food and shelter.
<reg>Fortunately</reg>, the Koala is popular with both AUSTRALIANS and tourists, and people are trying to make sure its habitat is protected.
People come to <reg>AUSTRALIA</reg> to see its natural beauty.
They come to see its unusual native animals, such as the Kangaroo and the Koala.
They come to see what it's like to travel huge distances and see no one.
And they come to see what <reg>AUSTRALIANS</reg> are really like.
You have learned more about some of these things on your journey <reg>through</reg> <reg>AUSTRALIA</reg>.

KOALAS
<NOTE desc="this page may be imported material">
Although sometimes called a native bear, the plump little Koala is not a member of the bear family, but is a true marsupial, with woolly fur, grey on top and yellowish-white below. With his leathery nose, rounded ears and pouchey cheeks the loveable koala is a well known representative of Australia. During the day the koala usually sleeps under the fork of a tree, but at night he often moves about, crossing the ground on all fours in a loping fashion.
