interesting stuff about Australia

•90% of Australians live on the coast. ... The large deserts of central Australia mean that the vast majority of the population live on the shores of this huge country. The large cities of Perth, Sydney and Melbourne are iconic places to visit, with buzzing centres and a multitude of beaches, from the sands of Bondi to the surf of Trigg. Outside of the major hubs however, there are hundreds of smaller beach towns where you can appreciate Australia's beautiful coastline. Explore Port Macquarie in New South Wales and catch your own dinner or head up to Queensland and discover the parties of Airlie Beach. Australia's island status means that there are thousands of surf towns and beaches to be discovered, so follow the masses and head to the coast.
•Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world. ... The island of Tasmania is the ideal spot to experience the great outdoors - with air as clean as Antarctica, around one third of the state is a national park or World Heritage protected. It is a walkers paradise, with trails and walkways winding over the whole island, where the coastal paths reveal impressive views over Wineglass Bay and the Bay of Fires. If walking isn't your cup of tea, enjoy kayaking, mountain biking and exploring the island's caves. The wildlife is an extension of the unique animals of Australia, where the Eastern Quoll, now considered extinct on the mainland are commonly sighted in the fertile farmland of Tasmania.
•The Great Barrier Reef is the largest eco-system in the world. ... The Great Barrier Reef is the pride and joy of Australia, made up of nearly 2,500 individual reefs and visible from space. It stretched halfway down the eastern coast of the country, meaning there are plenty of places to use as jumping off points to explore the kaleidoscopic coral. Cairns is the most famous city to begin a trip out to the reef but Townsville, Port Douglas and Airlie Beach all have great beaches and various tours that can take you out to enjoy the reef. Snorkelling and diving amongst the colourful fish and turtles that make the Great Barrier Reef their home is sure to be a highlight of any trip to Australia.
•Australia has over 60 separate wine regions. ... You can't go to Australia and not try the wine! With such a huge variety of wine regions it's hard to choose between them. The majority of the wine regions are in New South Wales and Victoria so if you fancy discovering a few of them a road trip between Sydney and Melbourne would be a great way to go about it. Take your time to explore the Southern Highlands, Tumbarumba and Alpine Valleys, one of the most picturesque wine regions in Australia, yielding wine from a variety of grapes, from Sauvignon Vert to Chardonnay. Western Australia also has a number of vineyards that are all reachable from Perth, a great trip out of the city to enjoy the wine regions of Australia.
•Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world... The sandy shores of Fraser Island are a highlight of any trip to Queensland. Hervey Bay is the jumping off point for exploring the island, so hop on a boat and discover the delights of this island paradise - the clear blue waters of Lake MacKenzie surrounded by the white sand shore and the serenity of Champagne Pools, where you can swim in the shallow pools at the edge of the ocean. There are 150 dingoes on the island so it is a great opportunity to spot one of Australia's famous wild dogs but keep your distance as they are wild animals and can be aggressive if approached.

Banana Slug: 6-9 Inches
The Latin name for the common banana slug, Ariolimax dilichophallus, literally translates to “long penis.” This gastropod’s pud is the same length as its body, however long it grows. Equally puzzling is that during sex, sometimes the penises of these slimy creatures get caught in the vagina, and the female chews it completely off, severing it for life. This is called apophallation.

Hyena: 7 Inches
Psyche. That’s a clitoris. The female hyena is more hung, more muscular, and as a result, more dominant than its male counterpart. The reason for this is an excess of prenatal hormone androgen given during pregnancy, which eventually creates what scientists call a female “pseudo-penis.” Female hyenas have to give poo, pee and birth through this one-inch canal. Baby hyenas are two pounds. No wonder they’re always pissed.
Silverback Gorilla: 1 Inch
Gorillas are giant, marauding, nightmarish beasts that can break your legs like twigs. They also have baby dicks. In terms of evolution, there was never a need for the male gorilla to develop an impressive meat stick because females live in a harem and are given no choice on the matter. Baby dick or bust, basically.
