    Luca, the thing I like about living in Australia is that there is lots of space. We have lots of places to walk and bike ride. I also like the spring… We have a flower called wattle, and we know spring is coming when we see it bloom. I will be sure to take a photo of Flat Tennyson with the wattle :) from Nerae (Ms Preece)

    G'day Megan. In 2013 the population of Australia, the wide brown land, was 23.13 million peoples. How many sheep I hear you ask? I step outside tonight and start counting.

    Now, about this pet koala you are asking about. You will be better off with a toy koala. In most cases it is prohibited by law to keep native fauna and that includes koalas. As a young 'nipper' we had a pet kangaroo. Somehow it broke a leg and my father mad a special splint for it...and Joey recovered and could hop again.

    I know it's very important, but how many sleeps now till Halloween?

    This tradition which is very much part of your culture, has in recent years gained a 'foothold' in Australia and is celebrated to a certain extent. As kids it wasn't part of our 'life', although I did know about it by reading Donald Duck comics. I guess that before long it will be well established as part of Australian folklife...whether us Baby Boomers want it or not!!!

    Good to say hello.

    Stay bonzer

    Its a illegal to keep a koala as a pet if you dont have a licence.
    yes we celbrate hallween but we dont take it too seriously. we just decorate our houses if we want to and go trick or treating if we want to. this year in 3/4d we made pumkin face craft.we used orange paper and black paper to make them. it was fun!

    Hey Luca,
    this is Kirrily and Abby! We have answered your question (What is the very best thing about living in Australia) . We have made an acrostic poem! and we have some information about Australia in it aswell.

    A koala is my favourite Aussie animal.
    Uluru is a desert and has no beaches.
    Sunny days are great to go to the beach!
    Tasmania was joint to Australia but it broke off.
    Really fun things to do in Australia is go to the beach, have BBQ 's and to go into the wildlife and much more!
    A rare animal in Australia is a Platypus
    Living in Australia is great you should visit!
    I live in Mebourne/Victoria and its really fun!
    Australia is the best! (and Canada)
