Initial Drawing and Landmarks of Australia (February)

Australia also symbolizes the early stage of the « Creation ».

It is important to first notice the position of Australia in front of New Zealand.

spreaded on three time zones from +10 to +8 (see : « about time zones » coming later ).

Australia is composed of a main land -Australia- and several islands which

include notably but not exclusively Tasmania -south of Australia- and Christmas

Island -north-west of Perth and south of Java Island- (there is another Christmas

Island, much smaller, located north-west of Tasmania, close to King Island).

North of Australia, a city called Palmerston is renamed Darwin after Charles

Darwin’s venue in 1839 (Charles Darwin is a british naturalist very well known for his revolutionary « theory on evolution » which finds its foundation from his concept of « natural selection »).

Tasmania promotes itself as the Natural State and the "Island of Rejuvenation" owing

to its large, and relatively unspoiled natural environment.

Among numerous species and more notably marsupials, the « devil of Tasmania » (today endangered) is also very well known, particularly under its artist name « TAZ »

(Tex Avery).

Australia is situated in the south hemisphere, north-west of New Zealand, south

of Indonesia.
