AUSTRALIA
Australia has almost the same landmass as the contiguous
United States. However, Australia only boasts 19 million citizens
in that area.
The population may not be dense, but it is certainly
diverse. Australia is home to many different cultures, and almost
half of its population is first or second generation Australian.
Australia is growing rapidly with heavy immigration.
This creates population concerns, as does AustraliaÕs resources.
Many sections of Australia are desolate with few resources
and unlivable conditions.
As you explore Australia, compare it to your own
home. Consider its wide-open spaces and farming industries.
Could the Australian way of life exist in a more densely
populated area?
