Picture a stunning sandy beach, waves lapping on the shoreline and the sun setting on the horizon creating a breathtaking atmosphere. The never-ending golden sand stretching as far as the eye can see. This is Australia.
Good morning/ afternoon students, teachers, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Mieka Bedggood as some of you might already know. I cannot but help share my pride as a modern Australian. We have a lot to be proud of, especially our unique landscapes which includes, our distinctive flora and fauna, and, also our multicultural community. Firstly let’s recognise our world renowned landscapes.
Australia is a country with a wide range of landscapes from the rough red dirt of The Outback to the magnificent beauty of the tropical rainforests and our gorgeous white sands of our beaches. Australia is travel heaven, so many of our advertisements for Tourism Australia proudly focuses on these natural wonders and we don’t blame them. One piece of Australia that earns it worldwide appreciation is its spectacular scenery, especially the diversity of the landscape and the abundance of its colour. Australian landmarks, including The Great Barrier Reef and Uluru are just truly remarkable. International …show more content…

These plants definitely add to its colourful and stunning environment. Our natural surroundings are a playground for our exclusive fauna. It is vital to us to keep them safe. Some animals distinctive to Australia are the kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, dingos, koalas, kookaburras, as well as many more. We are one of the few continents to have all three groups of mammals such as Marsupials and Monotremes & Placentals. Our vast landscapes are mentioned in the lyrics of our very own national anthem for example, “. Golden soil and wealth for toil; our home is girt by sea, our land abounds in natures gifts of beauty rich and rare...” This represents our uniqueness of our own fauna and

    Australia Day, celebrated on the 26th of January every year, is a nationally recognised day that signifies the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet. It’s a historic event that also marks the beginning of the oppression of the Indigenous people, that still can occur today, no matter how much the Government has tried to atone for the sins of the past. Australia Day is a day of celebration and mourning, a fact that contributes to the constant bickering between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous. There are many who believe that the meaning behind the modern Australia Day is overshadowed by the past, which will prevent the nation from moving forward, much like Ben Roberts-Smith who published an opinion piece in the Herald Sun on the 26th

    Which leads into my third and final premise, changing the date will be a large step towards reconciliation and act as a demonstration that we have aspirations to make our country better. Many people claim that changing the date will not change history. Of course they’re right because nothing can change history. If we were capable of doing so, I’d like to think we would have done it already. Changing the date of Australia Day will not reverse the suffering that the original custodians of this land were subjected to. Nor will it abolish the iron fist of racism that Australia seems to be gripped by.

    Frederick McCubbin, Arthur Steeton and Tom Roberts were all a part of the iconic art movement in Australia, that was, the Heidelberg school. The avid group of painters began their work in Melbourne and its landscape exploring the style of impressionism derived from Paris, France in the early 1860’s. These painters forever changed the national identity of Australia with their specific style of painting and influences. Their work depicted the harsh beauty that is the Australian bush, at the time, opening up the world to the outside depicting the experiences of the bush. They aimed for 'truth to nature' and worked in the open space outside, sketching quickly and applying their paint swiftly capturing instant impressions. This essay will discuss

    How to create an environment suitable for human living when resources are limited is a challenging problem for modern society. My strong interest in photography and art has compelled me to become especially observant toward the relationship between human beings and the environment. I have come to realize that the environment we live in has suffered much damage from pollution and lacks competent planning, making it difficult to find beautiful scenery to photograph or sketch. I began to think that I could make use of my artistic gift, concern about, and interest in the environment by entering the field of landscape design and putting my effort into beautifying our surroundings. Therefore, after graduating from high school, I entered the Department of Landscape Architecture at ABC University.

    The center of many Australian ecosystems are the Eucalyptus as there are numerous organisms whose life styles interact with the plants providing food sources, shelter and nesting sites. Eucalyptus species are present throughout most of the Australian continent due to its adaptability and morphology aspects. Such species that are present on the coastlines, their roots provide stable soil/ground as sand is very aerated and can move incredibly. With the presence of the strong and long roots of the species, this enables the ground to be secure and hold whereas if taking the plants out of this environment, the sand on beaches will erode away due to lack of stability (David V. Beardsell. Etal, 1993).
