what are Australia's special geographic fetures?

the great barrier reef is one of them

Australia is closer. So, wallaby.

We need a bit more geographic detail to answer this one.

DOWN, IS THE ANSWER. \nRIVERS FLOW FROM HIGHLANDS, WHEREVER THEY ARE, TO THE SEA, WHEREVER THAT IS.\n\nIF YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE RIVER COMPLETELY BISECTS AUSTRALIA, IT'S NOT A RIVER, BUT A TIDAL STRAIT.

Species include mallee, marble gum, mulga and black oak, with spinifex or a varied shrub and grassland understorey with Triodia spp., Eucalyptus goniocarpa, E. oleosa, and E. transcontinentalis.\n\nSee source for more information. Source describes the "Unnamed Biosphere Reserve" which is located in the central desert biogeographical region of Australia and includes part of the Great Victoria Desert.

Geographic features can affect how and where the population live. Most of Australia live near the coast as the inner land is more inhospitable. (I generalise there)\n\nIt can affect the produce and industry. Is the land suitable for farming, is there water nearby, does it flood easily?\n\nThink of it this way - where would you like to live/work/play? What is it about that place that makes you choose it? Where would be the complete opposite?\n\nHope this helps.

Below is the Australian Government's homepage for the Great Barrier Reef. A great resource for your research paper, written by people directly involved with the reef and the reff marine park.\nhttp://www.gbrmpa.gov.au/

longtitude, latitude, topography etc

physical features are stuff like mountains, lakes, deserts, islands, etc.

None of those places are very south at all.\n\nGo to Chile, or New Zealand, or Antarctica.

It is a special class of visa for Australians only.  Details are below.

Are you talking about main events in Earth Sciences and Geology?\nWell, Australia is in the middle of a tectonic plate, so it doesn't have much tectonic activity going on (like mountain building, big earthquakes, volcanoes). So, the events are more subtle, I suppose:\nEarth surface processes: erosion, dryland salinity, floods\nClimate change: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/change/ \nDegradation of Great Barrier reef: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/science/jan-june05/coral_2-01.htmlaffecting rain \nAtmospheric processes: Ozone hole fluctuations--http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20617284-2,00.html

You can argue that the principal defining characteristic of Australia is that it's a long way from anywhere.  The link below is to a well-known book on the topic, "The Tyranny of Distance", by Geoffrey Blainey.\n\nIn my lifetime, Australia has gone from a focus on England, to a focus on the US, to a focus on Japan, to perhaps having a more balanced view of its place in a multi-polar world.\n\nI guess the direct answer to your question is that Australia has a place in Asia, without necessarily being an Asian country.

Falklands I think.  The others are in the pacific and much higher up
