Introduction
Australia is a continent rich in history, culture and natural beauty. The country boasts one of the highest rates of endemism in the world, meaning many of its plants and animals don’t exist anywhere else on earth. It’s home to some of the most unique wildlife found anywhere on earth including some very venomous snakes including death adders which grow up to six feet long and kill their prey with their highly toxic venom which attacks their nervous system causing paralysis before death occurs within 48 hours from respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.
Aboriginal Australians have lived in Australia for more than 50,000 years.

Australia is a land of immense beauty and cultural diversity, but it’s also known as the “lucky country.” This nickname stems from its early European settlers who thought they had found paradise on Earth when they arrived in Australia during the 18th century. Today, you can still find traces of this sentiment among modern-day Australians who are proud of their country’s natural wonders and rich heritage.
The Aboriginal population has the lowest life expectancy and highest infant mortality rate of any indigenous population worldwide.
In Australia, the indigenous population has a lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality rate than non-indigenous Australians. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the life expectancy of indigenous Australians was 69 years in 2014-2016 (compared with 81 years for non-indigenous Australians). Infant mortality rates were also higher among indigenous people than their non-indigenous counterparts: In 2016 there were 5 deaths per 1,000 live births among indigenous babies compared with 3 deaths per 1,000 live births among non-indigenous infants.
The low life expectancy of Aboriginal people is not unique to Australia; it’s also seen in other countries where they live on reservations or reserves as well as urban areas like Los Angeles or Detroit–and wherever else they may reside under challenging circumstances like those described above.”
In 1788, British penal colony was established in New South Wales – Australia’s first colony.
Australia’s first colony was established in 1788 and was a penal colony. The British government sent its prisoners to this remote part of the world as punishment for various crimes. The settlers who arrived at Port Jackson (now Sydney) were mostly convicts, but other people also came to Australia as free settlers or soldiers.
The first permanent settlement was established at Port Jackson (now Sydney), New South Wales by Captain Arthur Phillip RN on 26 January 1788
The Australian Coat of Arms was created in 1870 and features a shield with red background and golden kangaroo.
The Australian Coat of Arms was created in 1870 and features a shield with red background and golden kangaroo. The shield is divided into four sections: the top left section features a red and yellow wavy line representing the Southern Cross constellation; the top right section features a golden kangaroo, an emu and a boomerang; the bottom left depicts blue water meaning that Australia is an island continent; finally, on the bottom right there is green grass representing Australia’s vast natural resources.
Kangaroos are not native to Australia, but were introduced by European settlers in the 19th century.
Kangaroos are not native to Australia, but were introduced by European settlers in the 19th century. The animals were brought over from their native land of Australia, where they have since thrived as a species.
The country is home to a large number of unique bird species that can be seen in aviaries around the country. One example of this is the Cockatoo which is known for its blue and orange crest feathers that resemble hair.

Another reason why Australia is such a great place to visit for nature lovers is because of their wildlife parks. The country has some of the most venomous snakes found anywhere on earth, including one called the Taipan which lives only in one part of Australia: northeastern Queensland and northern New South Wales (NSW). If you’re looking for something more exotic than snakes but just as dangerous, try visiting an Australian zoo or wildlife park!
Australian indigenous wildlife includes some of the most venomous snakes found anywhere on earth including death adders, taipans and tiger snakes which can grow up to six feet long and kill their prey with their highly toxic venom which attacks their nervous system causing paralysis before death occurs within 48 hours from respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.

- Snakes are found in Australia. The most common species include red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus), brown snake ( Pseudonaja textilis), mulga niger)and yellow-faced whip snake (Demansia psammophis).
- Snakes are dangerous because they have fangs that inject venom into their victims when they bite them; some types of venom can cause paralysis or even death if left untreated!
Conclusion
Australia is a country that has been shaped by its people and their traditions. From the Aboriginal Australians who have lived here for more than 50,000 years to the British penal colony that was established in 1788, Australia has always been an interesting place to explore.
