I know they're different countries etc. but wondered why Australia has more stars.

In the depiction of the the 'Southern Cross' itself (i.e. the stars to the right of the union jack), Australia depicts the 5 stars that are recognized as the brightest. In fact the majority of countries/states/regions that include the southern cross on their flag include 5 stars (e.g. Brazil, Samoa, and Papua New Guinea). New Zealand only depicts those stars (four) that indicate the points of the cross, leaving out the smaller fifth star which is outside that alignment. \n\nThe large star on the Australian flag below the union jack is the Commonwealth Star or Star of Federation. It has seven points to denote the six states and the combined territories of the Commonwealth.

It is due to the earth's orbit around the sun. At night, we are looking in different directions over the course of a year. The stars stay in the same positions over long periods of time.

Australia excels at Light infantry operations, particuarly in jungle environments.\n\nThis grew out of our experiences in WW2, and can be displayed by our records in the Indonesian Confrontation and Vietnam.

It's a defensive approach by England. Not entirely surprising. The Gabba test first-up is always the most difficult one. It does make sense trying to save this test, instead of having an unrealistic attempt at winning it. Australians traditionally have been weak at Adelaide and Sydney - easier batting conditions and a little more of spin. England could go with the combination you suggested then.

Oceania had half a spot, & South America had 4.5 spots. Thus the winner of Oceania played fifth place South America. The Spots are allocate with respect to the level of play in each region. The level of play in the Oceania region is not very high. Australia always topped the group except one year, I believe, and they win games by scores of 20 - 0.\nOceania would continue in the same manner. New Zealand should replace Australia as top of group and probably hardly qualify for a WC.

Star's are for the most part the same as our star/sun. The difference being we named our star The Sun.

A: Australia is almost as large. All you muppets who think that Australia is only about a 1/3 of the US should look again at their dodgy maps.\n\nNotice that the top and bottom of the map start at different latitudes, notice how the equator isn't in the middle. That means the map is a view of a tilted earth, made to give emphasis to the northern hemisphere. It's a hangover from the colonial era.

We have different shows in Australia. I do like 7th Heaven and just love all the Law and Order shows( I'm a sad fanatic of this group). We have a show called All Saints( hospital based) which I love. Love Crossing Jordan, Judging Amy, Boston Public and Will and Grace. We have just started getting on Pay TV the America Exposed Uncut series which I find really interesting. Sadly we are far behind in most shows and series. Thank goodness for Pay TV, I would die without my daily dose of Law and Order...lol.

In my observation, most of the countries colonized by Spain are like the Philippines, not as good and advanced. Unlike countries colonized by UK like Hong Kong and Malaysia, they are way better.

I dont understand. Australia is a nice place. There must be a problem with you. Maybe you are going to the wrong places, meeting the wrong people.

Our solar system is tucked into a corner of the galaxy where the stars are scattered far from each other.\n\nThe stars are denser closer to its centre.
