Monday's Lesson Plan
Australia is a land like no other on our earth. It is the home to an amazing animal population. Many of these animal species do not live anywhere else. Kangaroos, koalas, and dingoes are only a few of these unique animals. Because Australia is an island and wasn't settled by the Europeans until the 1900's, the native Aboriginal people had a rich, undisturbed cultural history.
