Book Synopsis: Australia: 53 Fascinating Facts For Kids for 9-12-year-olds
The coastline of Australia is around 16,000 miles (25,000 km) long and has more than 10,000 beaches. If you visited a new beach every day it would take you 27 years to see every one!
In the center of Australia, a huge mountain of red sandstone towers over the surrounding desert landscape. “Uluru” – also known as “Ayers Rock” – rises to a height of 1,142 feet (348 m) and has a circumference of 5.8 miles (9.4 km). Uluru was formed around 600 million years ago and for thousands of years it has been a sacred place for Australia’s Aborigines.
In the early 20th century, there was a fierce rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne, with both cities wanting to be Australia’s capital. The solution to the problem was to build a completely new city. Work began on the construction of Canberra in 1913, and in 1927 it became the country’s capital city and the new home of the government of Australia.
