| AUSTRALIA |
| Much of Australia's vast "red center" has been tamed and put on a tour, but the Outback hasn't lost its frontier allure. The same can be said for much of the rest of this country that's also a continent. Sydney may have joined the ranks of the world's top cities, but its architecture, stunning harbor and electric, manic personality keep it singular: You won't mistake it for anywhere else. From the craggy peaks of the Blue Mountains to the lush tropics of Queensland and the coral treasure land of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia has something unusual, something special to offer visitors |

BACKGROUND
Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from
Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first
Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No
formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when
Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of
Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th
and 19th centuries; they federated and became the
Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country
took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly
develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries
and to make a major contribution to the British effort in
World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has
transformed itself into an internationally competitive,
advanced market economy. It boasted one of the
OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's,
a performance due in large part to economic reforms
adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include
pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and
management and conservation of coastal areas,
especially the Great Barrier Reef.
