This document provides information about how location, climate, and natural resources impact trade in Australia. It notes that Australia exports many natural resources, especially coal, iron ore, and other minerals to China. Tourism is also impacted by location and climate - most international visitors are from New Zealand and China, and domestic tourism is more common. Certain crops are grown in non-desert areas due to climate. Remote location increases costs of imports and international travel. Natural resources have always been important to Australia's economy and trade.

Climate, & Natural
Resources Impact Trade?
Australia Notes

16. 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.)

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

19. Location
» Foreign tourists create only 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

20. 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

22. 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

23. 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!

24. 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

25. 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
