Australia comprises six states, two mainland territories and a few island territories. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Australia’s main industries were the mining of coal, iron ore, copper, tin, gold and silver, along with farming.
