km, Australia is home to some 19.5 million people. Australia's
human history began about 45,000 years ago with the arrival of
the people now known as Aboriginals across the straits from
what is known today as Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It was

an amazing variety of landscapes, long surf beaches, cliffs
and gorges in shades of orange, red, yellow and pure white
sand, dense rainforests, vast, desert-like sandblows,
freshwater lakes perched high up in its dunes, winding
streams, great basalt headlands and salt pans with eerie
mangrove forests. The beaches and forests are abode to more
than 230 species of birds - one of the largest and most varied

to others with pure white sand and crystal clear water. Few
mammal species are present on the island. The most common are
bats, particularly flying foxes. The dingo population on the

remaining in eastern Australia.
Also known
as the Ayers Rock, resting in the middle of the Australian
continent lies the imposing monolithic sandstone structure of
the Uluru, a major tourist attraction of the region. Standing
at a height of more than thousand feet from the desert ground,

wonders. Uluru is a sacred site for the Aboriginal tribes, and
has great spiritual meaning. Each feature of the rock has a
meaning in 'Tjukurpa' or Dreamtime, the traditional Anangu law
that explains how the world was created. Another mesmerizing
feature of this monolithic structure is that as each day
passes, the rock changes color depending on the light and
atmospheric conditions, and never remains the exact same
permanent shade.When it is wet, it is purple or black and on
sunny days it appears red or orange. 
Uluru
can be climbed and is done so by thousands of tourists every
year. In recognition of the rock's significance to the
Aboriginal culture, the Australian government has created the
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which is visited each year by
thousands of people from all over the world. Meteor
showers and other astronomy events are also frequently held at
Uluru, where the magnificent night sky can be watched and
photographed.
Sprawled over 132 566 hectares of arid ecosystems and located
close to the centre of Australia in the traditional lands of
Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal people (locally
known as Anangu), the Kata Tjuta National Park is a major
crowd puller of the continent. About 32 kilometres to the west
of Uluru lie the 36 steep-sided domes of Kata Tjuta, also
known as Olgas. The domes cover an area of 3 500 hectares with
Mount Olga, the highest feature, rising to a height of 500
metres and the area is sacred under Anangu men's law.

is dominated by spinifex and low shrubs on sand dunes and sand
plains dotted with large desert oaks. Sizeable areas of mulga
woodland and other low shrubs also occur on dunes and swales.
The alluvial flow areas at the very base of the major rock
formations support large bloodwoods, acacias and native
grasses. Water holes and soaks provide restricted habitats for
a number of rare and unique plant species. Larger stands of
mulga and other acacias dominate the harder, wide, sand plain
surrounding Uluru and Kata Tjuta. 
A
number of lizard species are found in the park, including the
rare giant desert skink and Australia's largest lizard, the
perentie, which may grow to a length of 2.5 metres. Today the
Park is jointly managed under direction of Board of management
and that includes a majority of Anangu traditional owners. 
Located in the East Kimberly region of Western Australia over
an area of 239,723 hectares, the Purnululu National Park is an
imposing and alluring attraction of the region. The Bungle

0 000 years.
The general public did not know the Bungles until 1986 when a
TV crew happened to fly over and film the strange bee hive
rock formations. Since then Purnululu has been made into a
National Park. The orange and black stripes across the
beehive-like mounds, encased in a skin of silica and algae,
can be sighted from the south of this fascinating Park.
Constant erosion and river movements have formed the huge
black and orange striped domes over the last 20 million years.
here are some fantastic gorges around the Bungle Bungle
National Park, with Echidna Chasm in the northern section of
the park, and Cathedral Gorge in the southern section of the
park. Both are about 1 hour's walk from the National Park car
park, while for the adventurous lot the long 10 hour walk of
the Piccaninny Gorge is very refreshing and thrilling. Other
gorges within the northern section of the park are
inaccessible on the ground, but offer a breath taking view
from the air.
