English is the main official and spoken language in Australia – 80 per cent of the population speak only English at home according to the 2001 census [3] (http://www.abs.gov.au/Ausstats/abs@census.nsf/4079a1bbd2a04b80ca256b9d00208f92/7dd97c937216e32fca256bbe008371f0!OpenDocument#Language). The three most common languages other than English spoken at home are Chinese languages (2.1%), Italian (1.9%) and Greek (1.4%). A considerable number of first and second-generation migrants are bilingual. Australia is home to a number of indigenous languages. Estimates usually put the number of Australian Aboriginal languages at between 200 and 300 at the time of first European contact, with the number of surviving languages now around 70, with all but 20 considered endangered languages. The total number of Australians whose main language at home is an Aboriginal Language is around 45,000 (0.02%). Australia also has a deaf sign language known as Auslan, which is the main language of about 6,500 Australians.

Department Of Tourism Of Australia News
Although most of the continent is desert or semi-arid, Australia nevertheless includes a diverse range of habitats, from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests. Because of the great age and consequent low fertility of the continent, its very variable weather patterns, and its long-term geographic isolation, much of Australia's biota is unique and diverse. About 85 per cent of flowering plants, 84 per cent of mammals, more than 45 per cent of birds, and 89 per cent of inshore, temperate-zone fish are endemic.[1] (http://www.deh.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/index.html). Recent classification of Australian biodiversity, indicated that there are at least 85 biogeographic ecoregions in Australia [2] (http://www.deh.gov.au/parks/nrs/ibra/index.html).
