Its development represents a triumph(胜利)over remoteness and a harsh landscape.It is generally accepted that Australia's original inhabitants, the aboriginal(土著的)people, have lived on the continent for 40,000 to 60,000 years.

The population has reached 2.25 million by 1881, 5.41 million by 1921 and 7.4 million by the end of World War II(1945).

Australians have a high standard of living by world standards. The flag of Australia is the only one to fly over a whole continent in the world.
