"Since its opening in 2005, the Australian embassy in Kuwait had been celebrating its national events, as well as taking part in Kuwait's national occasions, but this time, it is a special one due to the fact that it fits well with Kuwait celebrating its 50th Independence Day, its 20th Liberation Day and the fifth anniversary for His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah's accession to power," the ambassador noted.

Australia's population is currently estimated at more than 21 million and it is the only nation to govern an entire continent. It is the planet's biggest island and the sixth-largest country in the world in land area.
Australia is one of the world's oldest landmasses and has been populated by human beings for an estimated 60,000 years. Before the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples inhabited most areas of the continent. Australia's contemporary history is relatively short, with the first European settlement established by Great Britain on Jan. 26. 1788.
