...what building looks like a sailing ship?

One of the architectural masterpieces of the modern world is Sydney Opera House. Its white curved roof looks like the sails of a ship sailing in the waters of Sydney Harbour.

The building was designed by the Danish architect John Utzon. The construction began in 1957 and was finished 16 years later. The actual cost was 14 times more than originally planned. A series of Opera House lotteries was organised to raise extra money.

...what words were borrowed by Russian and English from Australian native languages?

Linguists say that the word ‘kangaroo’ came into English as early as 1770 at the time of the first expedition of Captain Cook. ‘Boomerang’ was borrowed later — about 1830. Both words came into Russian directly from Australian native languages due to the expeditions of Miklouho-Maclay, a famous Russian explorer. Miklouho-Maclay was also a naturalist and an ethnographer. His exploits made him something of a legend during his lifetime.
