*abbreviated as ‘SA’*
.
*a state in the ‘southern central’ part of ‘australia’*
.
(it covers some of the most arid parts of the country)
(with a ‘total land area’ of ‘983,482 square kilometers’ (or ‘379,725 square miles’), it is the 4th-largest of australia’s ‘states’ and ‘territories’ by ‘area’, and 5th-largest by ‘population’)
(it has a total of ‘1.7 million people’, and its ‘population’ is the 2nd-most highly centralized in ‘australia’ (after ‘western australia’), with more than ‘77%’ of ‘south australians’ living in the capital (‘adelaide’) or its ‘environs’)
(other ‘population centers’ in the state are relatively small)
(‘mount gambier” (the 2nd-largest center), has a population of ‘28,684’)
(‘south australia’ shares borders with all of the other ‘mainland states’ (and with the ‘northern territory’))
(it is bordered to the ‘west’ by ‘western australia’…)
(…to the ‘north’ by the ‘northern territory’…)
(…to the ‘north-east’ by ‘queensland’…)
(…to the ‘east’ by ‘new south wales’…)
(…to the ‘south-east’ by ‘victoria’…)
(…and to the ‘south’ by the ‘great australian bight’…)
(the state comprises less than 8% of the ‘australian population’ and ranks 5th in ‘population’ among the ‘6 states’ and ‘2 territories’)
(the majority of its people reside in ‘greater metropolitan adelaide’)
(most of the remainder are settled in ‘fertile areas’ along the ‘south-eastern coast’ and ‘river murray’)
(the state’s colonial origins are unique in ‘australia’ as a ‘freely settled’ + ‘planned’ british province, rather than as a ‘convict settlement’)
(‘colonial government’ commenced on ’28 december 1836′, when the members of the council were sworn in near the ‘old gum tree’)
(as with the rest of the continent, the region had been long occupied by ‘aboriginal peoples’, who were organised into numerous ‘tribes’ and ‘languages’)
(the ‘south australian company’ established a ‘temporary settlement’ at ‘kingscote’ (/ ‘kangaroo island’) on ’26 july 1836′, 5 months before ‘adelaide’ was founded)
(the ‘guiding principle’ behind ‘settlement’ was that of systematic colonization, a theory espoused by ‘edward gibbon wakefield’ that was later employed by the ‘new zealand company’)
(the goal was to establish the province as a ‘center of civilization’ for ‘free immigrants’, promising ‘civil liberties’ and ‘religious tolerance’)
(although its history is marked by ‘economic hardship’, ‘south australia’ has remained ‘politically innovative’ and ‘culturally vibrant’)
(today, it is known for its ‘fine wine’ and numerous ‘cultural festivals’)
.
(the state’s economy is dominated by the following industries…)
‘agricultural’
‘manufacturing’
‘mining’
