The identity of Australia
Kangaroos and Koalas are favorite animal symbol of Australia for millions of people around the world. Like kangaroos, koalas are marsupials and are unique to Australia.
The Sydney Opera House, which opened in 1973, is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings. It is a major venue for the performing arts, including music, dance and theatre. With its harbourside setting and soaring sail-like roof, it is one of the most photographed buildings in Australia.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge, affectionately known by some as the ‘coat hanger’ because of its shape, is one of Australia’s best known landmarks. The bridge, which opened in March 1932, is the largest (but not the longest) steel arch bridge in the world, with the top of the bridge standing 134 metres above the harbour.
