3/ Beers & Wines
The preferred beer brand is XXXX (four-X) (which you can drink in a pot or a schooner  or a tinny (can) ). It is brewed in Brisbane.

Australians  drinking habits have changed and the country is a major exporter of wines. Wine is now available and appreciated in many places.

• White Wines : Cabernet-Sauvignon,  Chardonnay and Viognier
• Red Wines : Shiraz (The Syrah of our Côtes-du-Rhône)

Queensland produces some of these varieties on the plateau of the Granite Belt and South Burnett areas.

4/ Platypus
Platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal, the only mammal that lay eggs. Males have spurs on their hind feet that deliver a poisonous venom.
The platypus closes its eyes and ears underwater. To find food, it uses its amazing touch-sensitive beak! It is even featured on the reverse of the Australian 20-cent coin.

5/ Coral & Reproduction
Corals are created by Polyps, small animals with a central mouth surrounded by tentacles.
They transform calcium carbonates from sea water into hard limestone shells, which can pile-up into walls of hundreds of meters.
They live in symbiosis with an algae (Dinoflagella) and reproduce once a year a night or two after a full moon, creating a spectacular “snow rise”  of tiny eggs swirling in the currents.
