Populations also extend for considerable distances inland in regions with enough moisture to support suitable woodlands . The koalas of South Australia were largely exterminated during the early part of the 20th century, but the state has since been repopulated with Victorian stock. The koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia.

Although the vowel /u/ was originally written in the English orthography as "oo" (in spellings such as coola or koolah ), it was changed to "oa" possibly due to an error. [3] The word is erroneously said to mean "doesn't drink". [3] The scientific name of the koala's genus , Phascolarctos , is derived from Greek phaskolos "pouch" and arktos "bear". Its species name, cinereus , is Latin and means "ash-coloured". [4] Although the koala is not a bear, English-speaking settlers from the late 18th century first called it koala bear due to its similarity in appearance to bears . Although taxonomically incorrect, the name koala bear is still in use today outside Australia [5] – its use is discouraged because of the inaccuracy in the name. [6] [7] [8] [9] [6] Other descriptive English names based on "bear" have included monkey bear , native bear , and tree-bear .[3] Qantas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Qantas Airways IATA QF ICAO QFA Callsign QANTAS Founded 16 November 1920 (91 years ago) Hubs Sydney Airport Melbourne Airport Secondary hubs Brisbane Airport Adelaide Airport Perth Airport Singapore Changi Airport Focus cities Cairns International Airport Darwin International Airport London Heathrow Airport Los Angeles International Airport Frequent-flyer program Qantas Frequent Flyer Airport lounge Chairmans Lounge The Qantas Club Alliance Oneworld Subsidiaries QantasLink Jetstar Airways Jetconnect Network Aviation Qantas Freight Qantas Defence Services Qantas Holidays Express Ground Handling Qantas Ground Services Q Catering Fleet size 143 [1] Destinations 41 (20 domestic, 21 international) Company slogan The Spirit of Australia Headquarters Botany Bay , Sydney, New South Wales, Australia [2] Key people Leigh Clifford (Chairman) Alan Joyce (CEO) Revenue A$ 13.772 billion (2010) [3] (Qantas Group) Operating income A$253 million (2010) [3] Profit A$249 million (2010) after tax [3] Total assets A$19.91 billion (2010) [3] Total equity A$5.981 billion (2010) [3] Website .au Qantas Airways Limited ( / Ëˆ kw É’ nt É™ s/ ) ( ASX : QAN ) is the flag carrier of Australia.
