If Australia was a street of 100 households, what would it look like? There would be a population of 260 people, and a total of 45 dogs, 27 cats and 252 fish. And so if your street was the average street of 100 households then did you know that of those on your street there is a marriage every 9 months, a death every 7 months and a birth every 14 weeks? There are 162 cars owned on the street, which in total drive more than 2 million kilometres each year.
