Australia is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean about 2,000 km from the north coast of New Zealand. Australia is a country with varied habitats from coastal estuaries to deserts and from wetlands to forests which in turn has created a large diversity of 900 bird species including a high degree of endemism at over 400.
