Australia is often called "the land down under". Do you know why? Look at a map or

hop past. Kangaroos use their powerful hint legs to hop at speeds up to 30 miles per hour (48
km/h)! If you look up in a eucalyptus tree, you might see a koala happily munching on leaves.
Koalas resemble small bears, but they are not related to bears.
Most of Australia's people have British ancestors. Australia still keeps some ties to
Britain, and many British customs remain popular. Like British, Australian love to drink tea.
