Australia map

Australia is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the world's smallest continent and a number of islands in the Southern, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy.Australia has a prosperous, Western-style mixed economy, with a per capita GDP slightly higher than those of the UK, Germany and France. The name Australia is derived from the Latin Australis, meaning of the South. The Commonwealth of Australia is a constitutional monarchy and has a parliamentary system of government. Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of Australia, a role that is distinct from her position as Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Among major international events held regularly in Australia there is the Australian Open, one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the Formula One Australian Grand Prix. Australian Government website: http://www.australia.gov.au/; Climate information website: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/; Overseas governments sometimes need proof that Australian documents, or the signatures of Australian officials on documents, are genuine before they will accept them; to certify that a signature, stamp or seal on a document is genuine by checking it against a specimen held on file, and stamping the document with an Authentication or Apostille. If the document is not an official Government document (such as legal documents or medical certificates) the document (or a copy of it) must be notarised by a Notary Public.
