Australia can claim itself as a country, continent, and island. While it is the smallest continent in the world, it is also the largest island in the world. In addition, Australia is the only country in the world that makes up an entire continent. The majority of the people in Australia live in the large coastal cities because over ninety percent of Australia is actually dry and flat, and about three quarters of the land can’t support any type of agriculture.

Australia is known to be the fourth largest exporter of wine in the global market. The cooler parts of the Southern region host more than 100,000 hectares of vineyards that produce different varieties of wine. New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria are the popular wine regions with Hunter Valley, Barossa Valley and Coonawarra as the well-known ones. Major types of wines produced in these regions are Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Reisling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. From rich, full of flavor Australian red wine to smooth and crisp white wine, you can expect the country to have quality wines that can challenge other brands and types from other major exporters like Spain and France.

Australia is a major agricultural producer, and due to its vast size and varying climates, there are many different primary industries, ranging from livestock, cropping and the fishing industry. As well as the jobs and revenue created from these industries there is also the many manufacturers that are supported by agriculture in the supply of necessary equipment, such as tractors, ploughs, fencing tools, fishing boats, shearing gear, bird netting, fertilisers and milking machines. Agriculture also impacts other industries, such as transport and the food and clothing industries.

Australia’s greatest wonder of all: Hugh Jackman. Considered as one of the most famous Australians of all time, Hugh is a highly respected actor, producer, and singer in the US and Australia. His talent in acting, although not as apparent here, still stands out. Paired with Nicole Kidman however, the acting part took on a very convincing tone in the movie. Together they created a wonderful chemistry that produced sparks all throughout the movie.
