Australian animals The Australian landmass has been isolated35° from other continents for a long time and it has some quite unique animals. There are a lot of marsupials (animals that carry their young in pouches), including kangaroos, possums, koalas, numbats, and bandicoots. Australia and New Guinea are also home to the only three species of egg-laying mammals—platypuses and two species of echidna.

The Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef lies in the Coral Sea off the northeast coast of Australia. It is the largest reef in the world and the biggest single structure made by living organisms. The reef, which is actually made up of almost 3,000 separate reefs and about 900 islands, covers about 133,000 square miles (344,000 sq km) and is so big that it is clearly visible in satellite photographs taken from space.

A wealth of culture and languages Papua New Guinea has hundreds of different ethnic groups and more than 800 local languages are spoken. The ancestors of the oldest inhabitants, the Papuans, settled on the island more than 40,000 years ago. There are three official languages—Tok Pisin (the main language), Hiri Moto (spoken mainly in the south), and English (not very widely spoken). Then there is an amazing variety of local indigenous languages, some with just a few native speakers left.
