Australia is often described as being unique. Discuss three aspects that make it unique.
Australia is one of kind. It is only country in the world that is continent as well as a country. It also has a lot of other characteristics that make it unique. Some aspects that contribute to uniqueness are landform region, climate region and the wildlife of Australia.
Firstly, the contrasting landform region makes Australia special. Australia can be divided into four major landform divisions which are coastal plains, eastern highlands, central lowlands and western plateau. Coastal plains are known as flat areas that are found along the eastern edge of Australia’s coastline. The places which are located on the coastal plains are Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

For example, The Simpson Desert, with red sands for hundreds of kilometres long and up to 30 metres of height. The western plateau covers two –thirds of the Western Australia. It is one of the oldest places on Earth. It is made up of a huge, stable block of ancient igneous and metamorphic rock, which is up to 3.5 billion years ago.

Secondly, the climate region of Australia makes Australia looked different. The main features of Australia’s climate pattern are hot-wet zone in tropical north, hot-dry zone in centre and on the west coast and, a zone of moderate temperatures and rainfall on eastern and southern coasts. At the hot-wet zone in tropical north which is known as Darwin, hot summer is a time low pressure systems and monsoonal winds that bring heavy rains....
