Dingoes are Australia's native dogs and have features in common with both wolves and modern dogs, and are regarded as more or less unchanged descendants of an early ancestor of modern dogs.
The Platypus is an aquatic, furred mammal with a bill like that of a duck.
The Emu is Australia's largest bird and is related to the Ostrich. Most native mammals.
Kangaroos have large, powerful hind legs, large feet adapted for leaping, a long muscular tail for balance, and a small head. Female kangaroos have a pouch in which their babies grow. They are marsupials.
Koalas are found in South Eastern Australia and have been described as "ash coloured pouched bears". But they are not bears they are mammals ( meaning they feed their young on Milk) and are Marsupial (meaning they carry their developing young mostly in a pouch).
3. The Didgeridoo is a long wooden flute, perhaps the oldest musical instrument on earth. It has been made and played by Aboriginal people for thousands of years now. The droning sound of the didgeridoo represents with as much accuracy as possible the essences of the sounds of the animals, birds and nature.
4. The most famous and representaitive building in Australia is The Opera House which is situated in Sydney. It was designed by Jorn Utzon.
5. Uluru also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory.

7. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.
