10 Things that are Unique about Australia
1. The Australian Outback;
The Australian Outback is very dry and hot but very cold during the night, it can even get below zero. A very long time ago it was very popular to sketch the dry and bare scenery that Australia is made up of. The strange thing about the Aussie Outback is that the weather changes completly from one side to the other eg. Dry and hot in the Northern Territory, Cold in Kangaroo Island and hot and humid around QLD.http://www.territorydiscoveries.com/

Hey rachie,
That is an impressive list and well done for getting it done so quick because you only got to start it the other day. I think that your post is one of the best in the class.
bye xx

Hi Rachie
Your blog is very good. I like the pictures and links. The Australian values are one of the good things we have as well. You don’t realise it really until you go to some other places, but the values of fairness and treating everyone on the basis of how genuine they are and how much they care, rather than how they look or what they have, is important.
See you Rosi

QANTAS – I never knew what it stood for. All I ever knew about it is that, according to Dustin Hoffman’s character in the movie ‘Rain Man’, it is the safest airline in the world.
And, while not on your list, Men At Work immortalized Vegemite! Interesting to see from the picture that it is made by Kraft – the same company that makes processed American cheese slices.
What is the appropriate spelling of Vegemite? The picture is ‘VegE-’ while your text spells it ‘VegI-’
Just curious.
Good stuff here!
