Australia is connected in many ways especially on social websites eg. Facebook. Sport and technology is one of the main events that connect the world together.Olympics and commonwealth games join countries together to have fun. People who use social websites like msn, facebook, twitter or dating sites get messages aross to people around the world very quickly. Prime-Ministers represent our countries by going to different countries. The news shows tell us what happens aorund the world such as global disasters, companies, global warming and wars Most countries depend on other countries in one way or another. Whether it is for food, financial support or trade, we are becoming more globally connected. It is difficult for a country to exist in isolation. When something happens in one part of the world, it can often affect what happens in other parts of the world. Australia affects and, in turn, is affected by people and events in other countries. Through migration, trade, foreign aid and even sporting events, Australia is connected to the rest of the world. Australia is a multicultural country; the population is made up of people from all over the planet. This in itself makes Australia globally connected. Australia is physically a great distance from the rest of the world. For this reason, Australia has benefitted from modern communications technology. In the past, the only way to communicate over long distances was by letter writing. Letters to and from Australia had to come by ship, which often took months. By the time the news in a letter arrived, it was already months old. Today we have many methods of communication that are a lot quicker than those early letter-writing days. In some cases the communication is instant. We can talk to people overseas by telephone, fax, instant message or email. We can log on to the World Wide Web (the web) and instantly find information from around the globe. We can now even video conference with people on the other side of the world. These are just some of the advantages of modern communication technology. As well as these methods of communication, we also rely on communication through radio, television, newspapers and magazines.

Airports are connected in many different ways .The airport is a way to travel to and from a country. Many people come to visit friends or families, for holidays or maybe come to be a citizen. Australia is multicultural and if you go to any part of Australia you will find Indians, Chinese, Italian and many more. - Friendship - Sportsmanship - Kindness - Helpful - Courage I’m competing against someone I don’t know; I say good luck before the race. The race has begun and I’m almost half-way there, I win the race. The girl I was competing with comes over to me with a big smile and says you were a good friend out there! Thanks Australia as many different teams that represent us in the Commonwealth games or the Olympic games. Every country is good at something ! Through many years sport as become popular and popular. Fans from one country as come to another country,sport as a very big out-come to us and the world. People travel in and out of the country, they might make new friends from a different country. Australia as been a well-known country for it's landmarks. Our currency as become a-lot more than what we expected. Tourist as become popular and popular. Our economy rises by millions and we use our ver reconised icons to get tourism. When our dollar is weaker others can export more from us, thats why we need tourism. While out-put is more than in-put more jobs anre created. Everyone as a flag that represents their own country, most of the flags are reconised by almost everyone. This land that i'm standing on right now is owned by the aboriginals. Before the British people come and stole it from them. There are many aboriginals that are still a live and items that they used still there. Just THINK !! If no more tourist came we wouldn't have enough money for our own country !! People around the world come to meet family or friends or the see the landmarks (icons). Then they decided to migrate to Australia, because of all the wonders. They will their country with them here. Not people but the ...... YES! Because if there is any global disaster we send food, shelter or people to help them. When Australia needs help other countries come to help us even it is a big disaster.
