“Western Australia”• Western Australia is 8 times the size of Britain, but it has only one

million people. 900 thousand of them live in and around the state capital, Perth. The other 100 thousand people live in “the outback”, an area of 2 mln 500 thousand square kilometres. The area is hot and dry. Temperatures are usually over 30° C in summer, and sometimes over 40° C. It hardly ever rains. Sheep farming is the main occupation, and the farms are called “sheep stations” in Australia.    Life on a sheep station is very different from life in a town. Houses are sometimes hundreds of kilometres from towns. Some people never go to towns, and never see shops. The sheep stations are very big, and children often ride motorbikes and drive cars.    The children can’t go to school, and they hardly ever see a teacher. They have lessons from a two-way radio. It’s called “The school of the air.” The students can speak to the teacher and other children in the class by radio. They get work by post. The post doesn’t come very often, about once a week. Letter – boxes are on the roads, sometimes 5 or 6 kilometres from the houses.    There aren’t any schools or shops in the outback, but what about doctors? People can talk to doctors by radio, and in an emergency a doctor comes to them by plane. They are called the “Flying Doctors”.
