	<passage mp3="AUDIO_REPOS/2308.mp3" title="The Land of Australia"><![CDATA[<div id="passage"><p><strong>Todd:</strong> Now Aaron, Australia's a big place.
Can you describe the Australian landscape?</p>
<p><strong>Aaron: </strong>No worries. In Australia, there are
  cities and then there is country. Not many
  people live in the country and the desert.
  About 70% of the population live on the East
  Coast on a very small area and 80% maybe 70% of Australia is
  just desert. Nobody lives there or it's just farms and nobody lives
  there as well. The cities aren't like Japan. They're very small cities
and there's a one high-rise area and then the rest of it is just flat.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> How about the natural landscapes like deserts and
rainforests and things like that?</p>
<p><strong>Aaron: </strong>No worries. The rainforests are in the south, mainly in
  Tasmania and in the tropics to the north but the desert is the
  center of Australia and the north of Australia as well and on the
  west coast. There's not much rainforest. There's a lot of desert.
  Not many rainforests and the rest is just built-up area. Suburban
areas.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Australia is know for it's beaches. What area has the nicest
beaches?</p>
<p><strong>Aaron: </strong>The nicest beaches are probably in Queensland or the
  Gold Coast. The West Coast has some great beaches as well but
  there are now cities over there, so it's not so popular but I think
  the best beaches are in Queensland cause the pollution is so
  low. In the cities.. in the south, the beaches are a bit dirty so you
can't always swim there.</p></div>]]>
