Answer:

Most of Australia's soils are ancient, strongly weathered and infertile. Some areas have younger and more fertile soils; these mainly occur in the east. ... Soils affected by salt—either now or in earlier geological times—cover large portions of the arable lands of our continent.

Explanation:

The fertility components most commonly depleted from soil are nutrients, soil flora and fauna (including microbes) and organic matter such as carbon and humus. In agriculture, depletion can be due to excessively intense cultivation and inadequate soil management.

Answer: Your spelling of "Australia" is wrong. LOL. Anyway, here is the answer

Explanation:

Australia is one of the driest continents on earth. Its soils are ancient and depleted, and just 6 per cent of its total area, 45 million hectares, is arable land. Most intensive agriculture occurs on the fertile soil on a relatively thin strip of land along the coastal fringe.
