Many place names reflect the Aboriginal languages and the strong link to the country, flora and fauna that continues to this day
Our economy is largely driven by diverse mineral and petroleum commodities, tourism, and agriculture production, including grain, livestock, wine and fishing
We boast one of most biodiverse marine ecosystems and the most southerly coral reefs in the world
Our climate is mainly Mediterranean in the south with sensational tropical zones in the north of the state
Our vast variety of landscapes span across 2.5 million square kilometres and include 20 000km of incredible coastline, ancient forests, desert outback and stunning national parks
