 * Australia**

"Alien king....why would you want to destroy Australia?" I asked "Australia is exactly like all this stupid planet it's b-o-r-i-n-g!" The Alien king exclaimed. "BORING?" I asked surprised "It's a wonderful, amazing and unique country" I observed "Australia //is// the best country, you know" I added "Prove it!!" the alien King screamed. The Alien King called for his alien helper, Zork. "Zork, bring me my royal throne, this fool wants to persuade me to not destroy her country, Australia!!!". Zork came rushing with the Alien king's throne he placed it on the ground, the Alien king sat on the throne. "Talk about your country fool because your whole country rely's it".


 * Fauna**

Australia has a beautiful landscape perfect for it's unique fauna to live in. Have you ever seen such a thing that sleeps for 20 hours, it has short, grey fur and a cute cotton ball tail. Well...it has a name and that's Koala. A koala is a mammal it has a pouch and it's baby grows up in it's pouch. An Emu however lays an egg. An Emu and Ostritch look the same they both have a lump on their back with black and dark blue feathers on it. An Ostritch runs faster than the Emu. The Emu like the Ostritch is a large flightless bird. Emu's have 3 toes and long legs this is why they run so fast. The Emu Female is (surprisingly) bigger than the Male. The Emu is also the world's largest birds. Have you ever seen a Kangaroo? It is a brown, tall creature with 2 pointy ears. A Kangaroo also has a pouch for it's baby to grow up in. A Kookabura is a funny creature. It's call sounds like a laugh. It is a bird that lives in gum trees. A Kookaburra is not a mammal. A Platypus is a water creature except it's not a fish. A Platypus is also the only mammal that lays eggs. A Platypus has a Duck bill, a Beaver tail and 2 cute Kangaroo ears. An Echidna is a spiky creature it has spikes on it's back so it can protect itself from hungry predators. A burrows deep in the ground and sleeps in a nest made out of fresh, green, soft leves. A Cockatoo lives in a nest high in the gum trees. It is a very pretty creature as it's feathers are white with pale red. A Dingo is a cute animal that was used for hunting by the Aboriginals. Have you ever seen a Possum? These small creatures are supported by their black and white tail so they can hang upside-down. A Bilby is Australia's Easter Bunny. These cute, small creatures eat insects and live in burrows. Quakkas live in Rottnest Island in deep sand burrows. Blue-tongued lizards are lizards that liven in the Northern Territory desert area. They eat large desert rats and flys.


 * Food**

There are many foods in Australia such as Meat Pie, Lamington, Vegimite, Kangaroo Meat, Pavlova, Red Rooster, Damper, Aeroplane Jelly and Anzac biscuits. A Meat Pie is a Cupped shaped pastry with either spicy mice curry or normal mince curry. A Lamington is a sponge cake dipped in melted chocolate put in the fridge and then dipped in desicated coconut. Vegimite is a salty, blackn paste thet you eat on bread and crackers, many Australians like it (but that doesn't mean that you won't like it). Kangaroo Meat is a yummy meat thsat comes from the Kangaroo (An Australian Animal). The tail is the sweetest bit so many people who have a sweet toth buy the tail of a Kangaroo, but the tummy is also very yummy. Pavlova is a ceamy, crunchy cake with fruits like kiwifruit, strawberries and bananas over a smooth yummy cream. Red Rooster is an Australia fast food restaraunt that only Australia has. Not even America has Red Rooster anywhere. Damper is "bush tucker". It is made out of flour mixed with bread and you put it over a mild, hot fire. After it's ready many people eat it with some Strawberry Jam. When my family and I go for a walk in the bush we normally go near lunch time and we carry the ingredients for Damper so we cook it in the bush but our family normally cooks Damper with some salt. Aeroplane Jelly is what Australians invented. They combinded hot water with Jelly Crystals then afew years later they slightly modified it. Anzac biscuits are sweet, crunchy biscuits that people make for Anzac Day, Anzac Day is when Australian Soldiers went to Galipoli for Wold War 1!


 * Conclusion**

"Alien King I have told you enough and you should have listened very carefully. Now can't you see why I said Australia is the best country!!" I said. "You're very good at talking about your country,fool!!!" The Alien King replied."Just think about it!!" I said. I was walking towards the door when I turned around. "Alien King remember if you destroy Australia you will destroy stories!!!!!!".
