                        The line graph shows us the number of annual visits to Australia by overseas residents. The table shows which countries these visitors came from. In this essay I will describe the information in the line graph and table.

                   This graph shows us there were 10 million people who visited Australia in 1975. On the other hand there were 15 million visitors in 1985. The number of visitors increased sharply and reached 24 million visitors in 1995. The number of visitors increased further when it reached more than 30 million visitors in 2005.

          This table shows us that Japan had the highest number of visitors, 2.9 million in 1975 and 9.1 million visitors in 2005. The lowest country was china with 0.3 million in 1975 and the number of visitors increased in 2005 to 0.8 million visitors. The total of all visitors was 8.8 million in 1975 and it increased in 2005 to 30.4 million.

          In conclusion the number of visitors increased nearly fourfold between 1975 and 2005.
