Around 1860, 24 rabbits being imported to Melbourne by a man called THOMAS AUSTIN and they start to breed like RABBITS. Since early 1990s government introduce a virus to kill the rabbits with little success. You mentioned Victoria as the smallest state, but Tasmania is the smallest state (little bit bigger than S/L, at 68,000km2) Victoria is less than 4 times the area of S/L (237,629 km2), not 37 times. ACT is not really a newly created territory, it's created in 1913.  QANTAS abbreviate  for Queensland and northern territory AERIAL(not air) service.  There are not many NATIVE MAMMELS in Australia. Sheep, Cattle, are not native. They imported to Aus. from UK.   First native Sri Lankan (Ceylon) people to come to Australia are PEARL DIVERS in early 1800s. Since then lots of Sri Lankan born (but white skinned European descendants) came in to Aus. until the strict white only policy changed some 40 years ago.</blockquote>
