Wallabies and wombats, kookaburras and koalas. Why is the Land Down Under so filled with the unexpected? Scientists say that the world’s continents were once part of one giant land mass, but Australia became separated from it 200 million years ago, allowing its plants and animals to develop differently from any other place on Earth. The Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef, harbors a wealth of rare underwater creatures and creates glittering coral islands rising above the sea. Exotic flowers, rare birds and peculiar animals color the countryside, which varies from desert to rainforest, mountains to beaches. Aboriginal people, who settled this land 20,000 years ago, still hold to certain traditions and earth-connected wisdoms. Just across the Tasman Sea lies New Zealand, another land of wonders. Imagine snow-capped peaks, sunny beaches, rainforests, glaciers, meadows, and smoking volcanoes, all on two islands.
