We have 55 different native species of kangaroos and wallaby.The main difference between them is the size, wallaby tend to be much smaller. The estimate of Australia's kangaroo population varies between 30 and 60 million.

HISTORY :

The history of Australia began when man arrived on the Australian continent 65,000 years ago. Its historical records begin after the explorers spotted it in the 17th century. The Spanish arrived two centuries earlier and discovered the Torres Strait. These records show that the southern land was uninhabitable and therefore did not colonize it ..., thus leaving the way open for subsequent British expeditions. The interpretation of Australian history is a controversial issue today, particularly as regards the discovery and treatment of Australian aborigines by European colonizers.

TRIBES :

The Australian aborigines are, the descendants of the first inhabitants of the Australian country and have continued to live there throughout the European colonization. According to Australian legislation, both peoples constitute the whole of the indigenous Australians.

ABOUT THE SHOW :

 

The mythical Maracana Stadium was the scene of the opening of the XXXI Games. Nature, a traveling companion of Brazil throughout its history, as well as the melting pot of cultures that formed Brazilian society throughout history, centered a show designed by Fernando Meirelles.

The music and the dance had a special role with 'Aquele Abraco' by Gilberto Gil, the interpretation of the national anthem by the samba player Paulinho da Viola, 'La Chica de Ipanema', the traditional melody performed by Daniel Jobim, with Zeca Pagodinho and Marcelo Peixoto, and the rap of MC Soffia and Karol Conka and capoeira. The final leg of the ceremony before the parade of athletes, Rio 2016, recalled the threat that the planet is experiencing with a global warming that showed its consequences in the main capitals of the world. The legacy Rio wants is that of commitment to nature. Therefore, each athlete who entered the great parade of the Games deposited a seed to fight against deforestation and create a garden and Olympic forest in the area of ​​Deodoro. Gisele Bündchen made an appearance as 'The Girl of Ipanema', the traditional melody played by Daniel Jobim.
