What is Pollution?Pollution occurs when air, water or soil is contaminated by rubbish and toxins. It is harmful to animals, people and plants and may cause disease and death.
Air PoLLutionAir becomes polluted when poisonous gases, dust, chemical fumes and smoke are released into the atmosphere. Car emissions are a major cause of air pollution.
WAter PoLLutionWater becomes polluted when toxic waste and dirty liquids enter our seas and waterways. These pollutants kill the plants and animals that live in the water. Sometimes the oil from ships and underwater oil wells spills into the sea. The oil floats on the top of the water and sticks to the feathers of birds and they cannot fly. Fish are unable to breathe beneath the oil-covered water.
SoiL PoLLutionThe careless dumping of rubbish can cause pollution. Flies breeding in rotting rubbish can spread disease. Animals may become sick from eating it, or be hurt by sharp objects, wire and broken glass. Poisons used by farmers to control weeds and pests can pollute the soil, as well as fertilisers to boost plant growth. Animals eating grass grown on poisoned land can become sick. Toxins can be passed through the food chain and may affect people’s health.
noiSe PoLLutionNoise can also result in pollution. Constant noise can be very tiring and stressful. Loud, harsh noises can permanently damage hearing.
In recent years, governments have passed laws to stop, or reduce the serious pollution that affects our earth. Keeping our air, water and soil clean is a big challenge. We are all responsible for keeping our environment pollution free.

Burke and WillsIn the early days of settlement, many men set out to explore the vast, unmapped areas of Australia. One such adventurer was Robert Burke (1820–1861) from Ireland. He was chosen to lead an expedition north from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. Second-in-charge was William Wills (1834–1861), a doctor and surveyor from England.
Burke and Wills left Melbourne in 1860. With them were sixteen other men, horses, camels, drays and plenty of provisions. Burke led a forward party to Cooper’s Creek and set up camp. They waited six weeks, but when the others hadn’t arrived, Burke grew impatient and decided to push on with Wills, Gray and King. William Brahe was left in charge of the camp.
Two months later, his small party reached the mouth of the Flinders River, one thousand six hundred kilometres from their camp. They couldn’t see the waters of the Gulf because of thick mangrove swamps, but they knew it was there.
Having achieved their goal, they turned south for the return journey. They had so little food they killed and ate their camels, not realising that they were surrounded by plenty of bush tucker eaten by the local Aboriginal people. Gray died during the long trek. Close to death, Burke, Wills and King arrived at Cooper’s Creek to find it deserted. Brahe, who had been waiting four months, thought they were dead and had returned to Melbourne.
Brahe had not left enough food, so Burke decided they should travel west. The men were soon lost in the desert. Burke and Wills perished within days of each other while King was fed and cared for by the Aboriginal people. He was later rescued by another party of European men sent to find out what had happened to Burke and Wills.
Burke and Wills will be remembered as the first European explorers to cross Australia from south to north.
