The continent of Australia,
with the island state of
Tasmania, is
approximately equal in
area to the United States
(excluding Alaska and
Hawaii). Mountain ranges
run from north to south
along the east coast,
reaching their highest
point in Mount Kosciusko.
The western half of the
continent is occupied by a
desert. The Great Barrier
Reef, extending about
(2,000 km), lies along the
northeast coast. The
island of Tasmania
(67,800 sq km) is off the
southeast coast.

The Northern Territory is a federal territory of Australia, occupying much
of the centre of the mainland continent, as well as the central northern
regions. It shares borders with Western Australia to the west (129th

Queensland to the east (138th meridian east).
Uluru also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock
formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central
Australia. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large

third of the Australian continent. It is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the

the Northern Territory to the north-east and South Australia to the southeast.
 This isolated gold rush town just has to be one of the most
interesting places in Australia. About 563km east of Perth, the
Kalgoorlie area was subjected to a gold rush when Paddy Hannan
discovered the precious metal near here in 1893. The famous
Golden Mile was regarded as the richest bit of real estate in the
world at one time, yielding up more than 1300 tonnes of gold.

of the country. It covers some of the most arid parts of the
