How Has Australian Changed in My Life Time?

1. Physical Change-

  • Building of the Sydney Olympics 
  • Black Saturday bush fires in Victoria
  • Queensland floods
  • Cyclone Yasi
  • Global Warming

The Black Saturday bush fires in Victoria changed much of the outback landscape of Victoria and destroyed hundreds of houses. This in turn changed how people now have to live if they live in a bush fire prone area with evacuation plans, fire proof buildings etc. The bush fires also destroyed a lot of crops that effected the economics of Australia's farming industry which therefore made the share market higher priced on the Australian farming industry shares.

2. Socio-economic Change-

  • Australian dollar being above parody
  • Global Financial Crisis 
  • Recyclable water in NSW
  • Businesses being created to build solar panels and environmentally friendly materials
  • Mining Industry
The Australian dollar being above parody means that Australia and its share market will be very strong and people will want to be investing in things in Australia.


3. Cultural Change-

  • Booming population of Australia
  • Huge numbers Asylum seekers being taken to Australia 
  • Saying 'Sorry' to the Indigenous people
  • Many other religions besides Catholic and Christian are being placed in Australia
The huge number of asylum seekers that are being found on the West coasts of Australia are causing the Australian government and the tax payers a lot of money. This also suggests that Australia is a very popular and safe country which many people are wanting to come here and live whether its legally or illegally.
