For people around the world, Australia is one of the most interesting places in the world. It has so much to offer, from beautiful beaches to rich history and an incredible art and food scene. Here are three fun facts you probably didn’t know about Australia.
There Are More Sheep Than People
Believe it or not, there are more sheep living in Australia than there are people. In fact, the number is more than twice bigger. This, however, is not as shocking as the New Zealand statistics, where there are 3 million people and 60 million sheep.
Most Greeks Outside Greece
There are around 400,000 Australians of Greek ancestry living in Melbourne, which means the city has the largest Greek population outside of Greece. So, if you fancy greek food while in Melbourne, know that it’ll be worth your while.
Most Animals Don’t Live Anywhere Else
Around 90% of Australia’s animals don’t naturally live anywhere else on the planet (according to Australia’s Nature Conservancy). In this group are animals like koalas, wombats, echidna, and tiger quoll. Interestingly, kangaroos don’t belong to this group. This animal’s origins are in South America although most of them live in Australia today.
