The Art Of Living In Australia.

Description

Australia, forming as it does a vast island continent in the Southern world, lies to some
extent within the tropical range, for the Tropic of Capricorn traverses its northern part. At
present, however, its most densely populated portion lies just outside the tropics, and it is
this semi-tropical part of Australia with which we have mostly to do. And apart, too, from
the mere fact of Australia being between certain parallels of latitude, which makes its
climate tropical or semi-tropical, as the case may be, its position is peculiar in that it
forms this enormous ocean-girt continent already described.
