I will go to Australia soon. Its official name is the Commonwealth of Australia. It is country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. It is the world’s sixth-largest country by total area. The neighbouring countries are Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east. Australia’s capital is Canberra, and its largest urban area is Sydney.

Before travelling there, I will make a little research about Australia’s economy, which is said to be the 13th largest economy and ninth highest per capita income. I will also investigate about its culture and its people.

Getting started: The name Australia

Instructions: Read the following information about Australia:

The name Australia is derived from the Latin Terra Australis (“southern land”) a name used for putative lands in the southern hemisphere since ancient times. The earliest recorded use of the word Australia in English was in 1625 in a note of “Australia del Espíritu Santo” written by Sir Richard Hakluyt. The first time that the name Australia appears to have been officially used was in 1817. In 1824 it was agreed that the continent should be known officially as Australia.
