Australias Natural Resources

1. China is Australia's largest export partner, as shown by these graphs. Minerals and fuels are the most popular trade. these three are the top three. the products are (in order of popularity) coal, iron core and education services.  in the graph to the right, you can see the amount of each product being exported. coal sits at the top on approx. $22 billion. i believe that we export those goods because we are a rich country which these minerals and china does not have many minerals. 

2. the United states of America are Australia's largest import country.the top ten imports from America to Australia. i believe that America imports these things from America because we are not as good at manufacturing all of these items and America is like a power country.
