Australian Fun Facts

So Yesterday I was just looking up odd facts about Australia and thought I would share.

1. There are 150 million sheep in Australia and only 20 million people. That means that there are about 8 sheep for every person in Australia.
2. There are over 60 different types of Kangaroos.
3. The longest fence in the World is in Australia and is 5,530 kilometers long.
4. Australia has 3 national frisbee teams.
5. The Great Barrier Reef has a mailbox. That’s right you can take a ferry out in the middle of the ocean and send a letter directly above the reef.
6. Over 1500 different species of spiders live in Australia.
7. Australia has the world’s largest population of camels with one hump.
8. The Sydney Opera House roof weighs more than 161,000 tons.
9. It is believed that 75% of Australian living species haven’t been discovered yet (I have no idea how they estimated this number).
10. The Box Jellyfish has killed more people than the stonefish (a super poisonous fish that can crawl on land), sharks, and crocodiles combined.

(This is one of my art pieces and isn't a box jellyfish but a Pacific Sea Nettle Jellyfish)
