 Australia is a multicultural nation.
The Aborigines were the first inhabitants. Now they make up only
1.5 per cent of the population. While many people have
Anglo-Celtic roots, there are a large number of Australians from a
variety of nationalities, from German to Greek (Melbourne has the
largest Greek population outside of Greece), Latvian to Latin
American, Cambodian to Chinese.
Over 19 million people reside in Australia. The population density
is 2.4 people per square kilometer, the lowest in the world after
Mongolia. Approximately 88 per cent of the people live in urban
areas, with most people living in coastal cities, the largest of
which is Sydney in the state of New South Wales. |
