Australia is the world’s smallest continent, but it is a huge country. Most Australians live on the coast,
where the climate is cooler. Although Canberra is the capital, Sidney is the largest and oldest city. One
of the world’s most famous buildings is Sidney Opera House, which looks like a ship.

Animal parks and refuges allow tourists to get close to Australia’s unique wildlife. There they can see
marsupials. A marsupial is a mammal with a pocket called a pouch for carrying its babies in. Also, most
poisonous animals live in Australia than in any other country. For example, taipans are the world’s
deadliest snakes. A bite can kill in 30 minutes.

Thousands of people emigrate to Australia every year, leaving their own countries in search of a better
