Australia and New Zealand were discovered in 1642 by the Dutch explorer A. Tasman, but for more than a hundred years after that they remained vague lines on the map. It was thought that they were part of a Great South Land.

In 1768 British scientists sent an expedition to the southern seas. The leader of the expedition was Captain James Cook, one of the greatest explorers of all times. Cook never did discover the mysterious South Land, but in the southern ocean he did discover the east coast of New Zealand.

Cook came face to face with the Maoris, the native people. After leaving New Zealand, Cook sailed north-west. He believed that he might find another land, and nineteen days later, that is exactly what he did. It was Australia. They saw plants and creatures that no white man had ever seen before: kangaroos, koalas, brilliantly coloured birds and butterflies, and grey-green eucalyptus trees of all kinds. They also met the dark-skinned Aborigines.

Ten years later, Australia’s first settlers landed in Sydney Harbour. These first settlers were convicts, who had been sent to this wild land as a punishment. There were also soldiers to guard them.

New Zealand was colonized much later. The first colony of British settlers did not arrive until 1840. Like Australia, New Zealand became an independent country within the British Commonwealth.

The Queen of Great Britain is Head of Both the Australian and the New Zealand governments, but is represented in both cases by a Governor- General.

In the future Australians are going to decide if they want to be a republic and get rid of the Queen. They what to be independent. They think that the idea of monarchy is old-fashioned.

But now the Commonwealth of Australia is a capitalist self-governing Federal state and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Twenty percent of Australia is desert. Sixty percent of Australia is almost as dry as a desert., therefore it is impossible to grow food there. for this reason, Australia earns more from exploring minerals ( such as diamonds and coal) than from agriculture. Australia is rich in minerals which are mined in different parts of the country, especially in Western Australia and in the north – east of the country. Most of the factories are concentrated in or around the big cities. They produce goods for the motor car, machine-building, clothing and food industries. Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth are the Country’s main ports and big cities.
