13. How do Location,
Climate, & Natural
Resources Impact Trade?
Australia Notes

14. 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.)

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

17. 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

18. 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

20. 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

21. 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!

22. 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

23. 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
