Did You Know?
Australia is the world's driest inhabited continent and the only country that occupies a complete continent.
Australians are proud of their heritage - that a nation of convicts and working people established a wealthy, educated, and egalitarian society in a harsh and inhospitable land.
Australia ranks 2 of 182 in the United Nations Human Development Index. (The United Nations Development Programme defines human development as "expanding [people's] choices to live full, creative lives with freedom and dignity". For this to happen, people need three things: health, education, and a "decent standard of living".)
