A Continent Unlike Any Other
Situated between the Indian and Pacific oceans, the continent of Australia is roughly 3 million square miles in size. Its six different climatic zones give Australia a wide variety of habitats.
From the Great Barrier Reef to the Outback, Australia is home to more than 5,700 different animal species … a staggering number when you consider how much of the island continent remains unexplored.
