=Here is my imformation about Australia=  =Australia = **In Australia we have lots of unique wildlife like: Wombats, Platypuses, kangaroos and lots more! All of our animals are unique in many different ways. Australia's wildlife is better than any other country on earth. (The weather is great because it's warm and Australia has nice drinking water that the animals can drink and to swim in.) The kangaroo can m balanceump far distances. The kangaroos have long tail to help them balance. The echidna lays it's eggs in a burrow. A burrow is like a tunnel underground. The echidna has spikes around it's body to protect itself from predators. The platypus and the echidna are the only egg laying mammals in Australia. The platypus also lays it's eggs in a burrow. Most of the time the platypus lays six eggs at once. The emu is the fastest land animal in Australia. An emu is an enormous bird. My favourite Australian animal is the possom. The koala is an important Australian animal. It is noctournal and it lives in a tree. Noctournal means sleeps in the day and is awake at night. They can't live in any other countries because koalas need to eat eucalyptus leaves and eucalyptus trees are only found in Australia. A blue-tonged lizard is a ruler sized reptile. Reptiles have scales. Scales are bumpy and rough. Wombats are about knee hight and coverd in fur, it can't run very fast. The kuckaburra is a bird that laughs a lot. It lives in gum trees and travels to other trees. A kucaburra has brown feathers on it's wings and white feathers on it's body**. = = =In the Australian bush there are many different flowers and trees like the fluffy, red bottle brush and the aussie gum tree. The eucalyptus tree is very important to the Australian enviroment because the koala's need to eat eucalyptus leaves to live. Flora is very important to all the countries because humans would never have existed. The bottle brush is red and you can have them in your yard. The eucalyptus tree you can only find in Australia and it can grow to a medium size. The wattle is yellow and fluffy and are found all around Australia. The kangaroo paw is red and green and the points stick out to the sides. The Pig Face is an Aussie flower, I've never seen it before but I think it would look like a pigs face! The Black boy is an Australian plant with spikes poking out randomly. (everywhere) The black boy is the symbol of my school. There are black boys in the school yard. The symbol is on our t-shirts. = = = **In Australia canoeing and kayaking are done in lakes and rivers. The canoe and kayak are just about the same. They are boats shaped as straight bananas with one point at the top and the bottom. This boat is made for one person to be in it at a time. A very violent sport is Wrestling. It is when you and another player punch and kick each other until one of you falls down. It's called knock out. (KO) A loved sport all around Australia is Football. Lots of people call it footy. A football is an oval shaped ball that you kick in the air. A football is hard to bounce. Because it's shaped like an oval. In footy you play against a team of near 20 players. A really fun water sport is water polo. It is played with a ball that is round and water proof of course. A sport that is played with a small ball that is green is tennis. A raquet is used for hitting the ball to the person on the other side of the net. Sometimes there is only one person on each side but some other times there are two people on each side. You hit the ball with a raquet to the other team.**


 * So, I have told you a lot about Australia, how do you feel about the country now? Australia is a pretty cool country huh! One of the best locations. Please change your mind about Australia, IT'S MY HOME!**
