    The advancements in the development of technology, entertainment and culture is very significant within the history and future of the Australian society because of American and British influence. As a result of Australia’s already strong relationship with the United States of America (USA) and Britain before and after World War Two the impact on everyday Australians was immense. Prior to 1945 many Australians would class themselves as part of a British colony and under British authority. This resulted in many themes of Australian culture to be influenced by Britain including: sports; foods; fashion; entertainment and music; behaviour and individual attitude about society. Post- WWII the Australian society developed unique characteristics…

These issues all proved to be very challenging and some were overcome better than others.…

    The main reason why Australia has a unique range of flora and fauna, is as a result of Continental Drift and how it separated Australia from the other continents. This allowed for the animals living in Australia to evolve to the climate, without any genetic input from other species, for over 70 million years. This makes Australia unique to every other continent, as no other population is able to share its gene pool with Australia’s as a result of its reproductive isolation with other landmasses, therefore creating a population of flora and fauna unique to all other countries and continents.…

    These Europeans and Dutch settlers pictured this country as a land of horror and evil. They imagined the kangaroo as an evidence of some unknown disease that was the Antipodes. Due to food shortages they decided to let go of the idea of kangaroos being a disease and start to hunt them for eating. During worldwide exhibitions, Australia often presented the kangaroo symbol through objects on display such as books, cups and Japanese porcelain cruet set as part of their decorations to attract foreign buyers (Harper and White 2010, p.24-25). The kangaroo is symbolic because it has played a major role in colonisation during the settlement and appealing for international interest through…

    As an islanded nation Australia was comparatively free of invasive species that existed in other countries, until post-Colonial times increasing trade between Australia and foreign countries has caused an increase in the species entering the country. Invasive species are a threat to the environmental, social and economic health of Australia. Invasive feral animals such as pigs, goats, rabbits, cattle, buffalos, donkeys, camels and Horses cause degradation to natural habitats by selective or intensive grazing. Animals with hooves compress soil creating a difficult environment for the growth of native vegetation which also contributes to erosion. They also compete with indigenous animals for habitats and food.…
