The development of agriculture in Australia
The share of the agricultural industry in Australia is 3 % of GDP and adds to the gross volume of more than 155 billion AU$.

In the coastal cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle) work shipbuilding companies that build small and medium-sized vessels for special purposes (tankers, mineral trains, floating cranes, and so on). Electrical industry develops refrigeration equipment, batteries, cable, electric wire, televisions and other appliances for industrial and home use.
Ferrous metallurgy is widely developed in Australia - here melted steel and cast iron, are produced car, produced various metal products and special alloys.
