Australia Downunder
1999
Our entry is about Australia. It has numerous types of information about Australia ranging from geography and wildlife to history and culture. Since the Olympics 2000 is going to take place in Sydney, Australia we wanted to find out more about this country and felt others would be interested also. We included a section on Australian speech so that others could listen to the Australian accent. We put in information on tourist attractions for people who might be interested in traveling to Australia, so they could get an idea about what to visit. We wanted to make it an interactive site so we included quizzes and a coloring book. We hope our message board and guestbook will be a place where others will share their Australian experience and thoughts about our web site. Our educational objectives are to teach people about Australian history, geography, speech, animals, music, culture, attractions and weather.
