    Australian Bauxite -

    There are currently five bauxite mines in Australia providing feedstock for the seven alumina refineries, which in turn supply alumina to the six Australian aluminium smelters and the export market. Australia is the largest producer of bauxite in the world, with 67million tonnes produced in 2007.

    Discovery Of The Argyle Diamond Mine

    The Argyle diamond story has its origins in the early 1970s, when one of the world's most significant find of diamonds was made at Smoke Creek in the remote north of Western Australia, over 2000 kilometres from Perth, the state capital.

    Australian Argyle Diamonds are internationally reowned for their unique brilliance and stunning array of colours. Unearthed in the rugged Kimberley region in the far north of Western Australia, Argyle Diamonds thrill in shades of exotic pink, sparkling champagne, rich cognac and dazzling white.

    Just google a natural rescource from the list with Australia after it.

    For example: coal mining Australia:

    Australia's largest commodity export...

    Mining of black coal is one of Australia's most important industries, creating significant employment in regional Australia, fuel for low-cost electricity generation and steel-making, and vital export income. Australia is the world's biggest coal exporter, and black coal is Australia's largest export, worth more than $A24 billion in 2007-08.

    Australia Natural Resources List

    Australia is a totally independent country that does not share it's natural resources with the United Kingdom or any other country. We sell our resources and the UK must pay the same price as anyone else. It is up to Australians to decide if the country becomes a republic or remains a monarchy. To do this we must vote in a referendum, run by Australua not the UK. We have voted in the past, but did not beome a republic as people could not agree on the type of republic we should become. Neither the Queen, nor the British government, can affect this Australian Government's decisions in any way. If we chose to become a republic then that's our business.
