About Commonwealth of Australia

Geography

Australia is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent.  It is one of the largest countries on Earth.  Although it is rich in natural resources and has a lot of fertile land, more than one-third of Australia is desert.

Sorrounded by Indian and Pacific Ocean, most of the Australian cities and farms are located in the southwest and southeast, where the climate is more comfortable.  There are dense rain forest in the northeast. The famous outback (remote rural areas) contains the country’s largest deserts, where there are scorching temperatures, little water, and almost no vegetation.

Running around the eastern and southeastern edge of Australia is the Great Dividing Range.  This 2,300 mile (3,700 kilometer) stretch of mountains sends water down into Australia’s most important rivers and Great Artesian Bain, the largest groundwater source in the world.

Education History of Australia.

Australia has 37 government-funded universities and two private universities, as well as a number of other specialist institutions that provide approved courses at the higher education level. The University of Sydney is Australia’s oldest university, having been founded in 1850, followed by the University of Melbourne three years later.  Other notable universities include those of the Group of Eigh leading tertiary institutions, including the University of Adelaide, the Australian National University located in the national capital of Canberra. Monash University and University of New South Wales.

The OECD places Australia among themost expensive nations to attend university. There is a state-based system of vocational training, know as TAFE, and many trades conduct apprenticeships for training new trades people.  Approximately 58 percent of Australians aged from 25 to 64 have vocational or tertiary qualifications, and the tertiary graduation rate of 49 percent is the highest among OECD countries.  The ratio of international to local students in tertiary education in Australia is the highest in the OECD countries.
