Welcome to Australia Week!

Listen to the presentation and fill in the blanks.

Australia is officially known as the Commonwealth of

Australia. The Queen of England is the Monarch of
Australia and that is why the U_ _ _ _ J_ _ _ is on
the Australian flag. A famous star constellation called
The S_ _ _ _ _ _ _ C_ _ _ _ is also seen on our flag.

Australia is located in the Southern H_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. It is both a country and a c_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

Australia is made of s_ _ states and t_ _ territories. The capital of Australia is C_ _ _ _ _ _ _.

The way of life in Australia is relaxed and fun! Our lifestyle can be summed up with 3 Bs: the Beach,
B_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and Bites (from mosquitos, spiders, snakes and sharks!).

Many iconic animals can be found in Australia. These include the platypus (an egg-
laying mammal), the k _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (that can jump almost 4 metres high) and the
k_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (which has one of the best laughs in the world!)

The Indigenous Australia Peoples (also known as Aboriginal

Australians) are the F_ _ _ _ Australians. Before British
colonisation, there were around 700 Aboriginal languages
spoken. The D _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is the Aboriginal understanding
of the world and its creation. The B_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is an Aboriginal hunting tool
which returns to the hunter after being thrown at and striking the prey. An iconic
Aboriginal Australian musical instrument called The D_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is made of
wood and played by blowing air through the tube.

Some of Australias famous landmarks include The Sydney

Harbour Bridge, The Great Barrier Reef, The Sydney O_ _ _ _
H_ _ _ _, Uluru, B_ _ _ _ Beach and Parliament House.

Australia also has some famously funny landmarks, which are

famous just for being big! These include The Big B_ _ _ _ _, The
Big Merino, The Big P_ _ _ _ and the Big Pineapple!
