Although, the percentage of children/infants aged 0-4 years, which is kindergarten/preschool ages is significantly low due to the small geographical area of the suburb and also the data conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics is outdated by three years. Adding the additional years to the region will most likely consist of a rise in population, increasing the percentage of 6.4%.…

Is there anything more frustrating than sitting in rush hour traffic, day after day, knowing that it will never get better? How does standing in line at the grocery story, spending a full day at the DMV, or having to squeeze into the packed elevator in a downtown high-rise sound? These are but a few minor, yet inconvenient, effects of the population explosion we Californian’s are facing. Our geographical space is not getting any larger, but our population is. The 2000 census showed California’s population increased by 13.6% over 1990 census figures to 33,871,648 people. California adds over 550,000 people annually, which is roughly equivalent to adding the entire population of the state of Vermont every year. Why is California so over populated and what are the potential long-term effects of this overcrowding?…
Bulimba Creek is located in the eastern and south-eastern areas of Brisbane and generally flows northwards into the Brisbane River. Bulimba Creek extends from Sunnybank to the Brisbane river at Hemmant as can be seen in figure 1. In 1865, European settlers extensively farmed the more fertile flats in the catchment area causing damages through bad farming techniques. Also, unlimited fish were caught from the creek. The creek’s catchment area covers122 square kilometers; the second largest in Brisbane. Factors impacting the catchment area are by urban development, tree clearing, land uses and weeds. Infrastructure, services and inappropriate land use; filling and building on flood plains and waterway corridors are also serious problems.…

The gold rushes in the second half of the 19th century would completely change the way Australia would look at its self and how other nations and people would look at it. Before 1851, Australia’s combined recorded white population was approximately 77,000. Most of these where convicts, slaved and war captives who had been inhabiting Australia for the past 70 years.…

Australia is an extremely urbanised country; about 85 per cent of the population lives in coastal areas, and most of these people live in urban areas with populations of over 100 000 people. This accounts for only about 1 % of Australia 's total landmass. This level of urban growth is putting much pressure on cities to keep up with the needs of the growing populations. Though some areas of cities are being subjected to urban growth, other areas may be experiencing the effects urban decline. The suburb of Pyrmont-Ultimo in Sydney is a good example of urban growth and decline and its geological processes.…

Meanwhile, the immigration from South Korea went down sharply during this time.…
