Reflecting on the time that I’ve been in Australia is exciting but somewhat bittersweet. I have experienced so much while being in this country and surprisingly most of it has tied back to the themes we’ve been talking about in Discover Australia.

Despite being the only continent that is made up of one country, one of the driest places on Earth, and the home of the largest living organism, Australia is rarely heard of, seeming to reside in it’s own little corner of the world. Nevertheless, Bill Bryson’s very informative travel diary of Australia, In a Sunburned Country (304 pages), brings light to this remarkable country. He records his observations and opinions as he brings his readers along through the non-tourist trekked parts of Australia

In this essay, I explored how a building has a direct correlation between the geometry and the activities contains. After looking at many libraries I chose to analyze the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, University of Chicago Illinois. In order to understand a library, you first need to know a brief history. In 1731, the first Library was opened by Benjamin Franklin and his Junti Society. More than a century and a half passed by and in 1887, Melvin Dewey founded a school for librarians to get their

occur and, furthermore, that the subject of history may not be the same. The reason this has not happened is due to Federation on the date of 1st of January, 1901. Federation is when the six separate British self-governing colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia formed one nation.

Hello, I am always fascinated by Australia, especially Victoria, when I was told to choose my bachelors option from number of cities including Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, I chose Melbourne. The best thing about Victoria I like is its diversified culture. There is something for everybody, even as an Indian, I never felt dejected here, it feels fresh and like my second home here.

So by the mid 1800's, Australia had a lot of migrants from overseas, especially England, who were increasing our economy by basically just being here, as it caused the general consumption of everything to go up and was therefore, costing our country money. In 1845, there was a massive mining boom in South Australia. Vast majorities of
Melbourne, one of the most beautiful city's in the world. I have traveled through the USA, Canada & the Bahamas, and still, I find Melbourne is the greatest.

Robert Hughes, in his study The Fatal Shore, describes this undertaking as 'a new colonial experiment, never tried before, not repeated since. An unexplored continent would become a jail.' The choice of New South Wales was an unusual one, for Cook had described it as barren, and A.G.L. Shaw notes in Convicts and the Colonies
