Tell Me About:
Australia

 

This is a less glossy version of a publication produced by the Embassy of Australia entitled "Tell Me About Australia" published in response to the hundreds of letters received weekly asking about information on Australia. It is aimed for children in the 7th grade level, but is useful for all. For more information, or to request a hard copy, please contact the Embassy of Australia.

Please note that due to graphic images, some of the pages may take some time to download. Rough estimates of download time are indicated at the bottom of each content section.

Students and teachers may find other information via the AEO's Pre-Departure Guide for North American Students.
