How do Location, Climate, & Natural Resources Impact Trade? Australia Notes

Location China is Australia’s neighbor to the north Australia exports tons of natural resources to China 1/2 of iron ore goes to China In return, China provides Australia with affordable finished goods (cars, kitchen appliances, etc.)

Location Australia’s location makes it expensive for people to visit from other countries Most international tourists come from New Zealand and China

Location Foreign tourists create 1/4 of Australia’s $81 billion tourist industry Australians do the majority of tourism within their own country Remote location in the Southern Hemisphere makes it expensive for Australians to leave & visit other countries

Climate Tourists from the northern hemisphere visit Australia’s warm beaches when it is winter in their country Tourists usually wait until spring or fall to visit the rural areas & the outback--not too hot then

Climate In the non-desert regions, Australians grow many grains Grown in inland regions of the coastal states (not too hot/dry here) Grains include a wide range of different crops: Wheat, barley, sorghum, rye, rice, chickpeas, lentils, & oilseeds

Natural Resources Across much of Australia, the ground is barren & not ideal for farming (outback) Many minerals are found here: gold, silver, uranium, coal, copper, & iron ore Australia has exported nearly $400 billion worth of metals, minerals, & fuels in the past 20 years Natural resources account for 1/3 of the country’s economy!

Natural Resources Australia exports more coal & iron ore than any other country Leads the world in mining bauxite, titanium, & diamonds No other country has more reserves of lead, cadmium, or nickel

Natural Resources Have always been important to Australian trade: In the mid-1800s, Australia had a gold rush in the southern region Thousands of immigrants moved to Australia to find gold Many came from England, Ireland, Germany, & China

The Super Pit The world’s largest gold mine!

Questions to Consider: Which nation’s citizens visit Australia more than any other? Why? What resources attracted thousands of immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century? Which country is most important to Australia for trade? New Zealand--it’s closer. Other places are too far away and too expensive Gold China
