Australia is the world’s sixth largest country and its largest island.
It is the only island that is also a continent, and the only continent that is also a country.
It was the first continent conquered by sea, and the last. It is the only nation that began as a prison.
It is the home of the largest living thing on earth, the Great Barrier Reef, and of the most famous and striking monolith, Ayers Rock (or Uluru to use its now official, more respectful Aboriginal name)
It has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world’s ten most poisonous snakes, all are Australian.
Five of its creatures – the funnel-web spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick and stonesfish – are the most lethal of their type in the world.
