6 Read the text and complete the table.

AUSTRALIA, OR “OZ” as it is called in Australian slang, is the smallest continent in the world. Australia has a population of 17 million people. In fact, Australia only has 2 inhabitants per square kilometre. The Aborigine population is very small, only about 1–3% of the total.

Australia is divided into 6 federal states: Southern Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria. There are also two other important areas: the Northern Territory and a federal district where the capital, Canberra, is located. Canberra, with its population of 375,000, is not the biggest city in Australia. In fact the biggest cities are Sydney with 4,600,000 inhabitants and then Melbourne with 4,240,000 inhabitants.

Australia’s formal name is the Commonwealth of Australia. The Australian form of government is a constitutional monarchy — “constitutional” because there is a written constitution, and “monarchy” because Australia’s Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II. The head of government is the Australian Prime Minister, who is responsible to the Australian Parliament. The Parliament of Australia consists of the House of Representatives (or “the lower house”) and the Senate (or “the upper house”). However, many Australians want the country to be an independent republic with its own president.

Australia has its own currency, the Australian dollar. Australians speak English, but the way they speak it is very different from the way English people speak it. There are many words which are used only in Australia, and Australian slang is different from British English slang.

Australia is famous for the variety of its countryside with the Great Sandy Desert in the west of the continent and the mountains of the Great Dividing Range in the east, and for its wildlife. The best known and most recognisable Australian animals are koalas, kangaroos and crocodiles.
