Living in Australia
Australia is an English-speaking, multicultural
country with a diversity and richness
developed
from migrant people from across the
world
and the Aboriginal people who were
the original
inhabitants of Australia prior to European
settlement in the 1780s. While early
settlement
in Australia was British and ties are
kept
with England, since the 1950s there
has been
an large influx of migrants with an
increasing
migration from South-East Asia.
Australia is nearly equal in size to China
or the United States of America. The
population
of Australia is, however, relatively
small
with approximately 17.4 million people
living
mostly around the coastal fringe of
the country.
Australia is very urbanized with Sydney
and
Melbourne comprising nearly half of
the nation's
total population.
