He would also like to know what famous things you have there ie, landforms and sites, so in other words what would people want to come there and see and do.

Make it sound really good so then maybe we could come and visit the land down under! I would love to come there but not until all the kids are gone so we could enjoy ourselves.

Thanks for all the help. I will let you know what he gets on his report. With your help hopefully a big fat A+.

2 The resources(water,soil,minerals ect.) of the country incluce gold, nickel, coal.

3. The industries (what this country produces) are affected by these resources> This country produces livestock(sheep), minerals(gold, nickel, copper), natural gas.

I'm sure you didn't mean it the way it sounds, but

I didn't mean it the way it sounds, sorry, I was holding the baby and I don't get enough sleep. I am really sorry, I mean,
I would love to come down there someday, but DH has to have reason to go anywhere now days,

Thanks for the info. IT"S GREAT and EXACTLY what he needed.

LOL no problem.

Totally understand trying to get DH motivated to go somewhere. I've been trying to get mine to go back to Canada for a long time to visit family. If you have any questions I'm sure any of us would be happy to answer them. I've also lived in the US so if you have any questions about differences I can try to answer them.
