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 is

expensive for people to visit from other countries

» Most international tourists come from New Zealand and China

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

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!
