It's the greatest mountain range in Australia and the third longest land range in the world. The Nullarbor Plain is the world's largest limestone karst landscape. Bungle Bungle Range is the most famous and major landform in the Purnululu National Park in Western Australia. The traditional people that live in this area are the Kitja people. The Twelve Apostles are 12 limestone rock stacks that rise up from the Southern Ocean on Victoria's coastline. The Great Barrier Reef is off the coast of Cairns. (photos are on the bottom of page)

There are many different groups of animal species in Australia. Some of the most known are: Kangaroos, Wallabies, Koala Bears, Wombats, Tasmanian Devils, Crocodiles, Dingoes, Platypus, Echidnas, Cockatoos, and Goannas. We also have nine of the most deadliest snakes in the world. Wallabies and Kangaroos very often get put together as the same animal, but the wallaby is actually smaller than the kangaroo. An Echidna is like a spiky anteater.
Some of the most famous trees in Australia are the eucalyptus trees. They are also known as Gum Trees because of their fresh and clean smell that reminds people of a eucalyptus mint flavor in chewing gum.Eucalyptus trees make up about 3/4 of Australian bush lands makes it possible for Australia to export eucalyptus oil all all round the world as well as in its own country. These tree's leaves are also a major source of food for koala bears. The picture that is directly under this text is a picture of "Anigozantho", but they are more commonly known "Kangaroo Paws" because the resemblance to kangaroo paws.
