Australia is the smallest continent(洲) in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is to the south of the equator(赤道). So when it is summer in our country, it is winter in Australia.
Australia has a small population(人口). The population of Australia is nearly the same as that of Shanghai, a city in China.
Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos(袋鼠). After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep are everywhere. Have you ever seen a kangaroo? It has a "bag" below its breast(胸). The mother kangaroo keeps its baby kangaroos in the "bag". It is very strange, isn't it?
