Why is Australia and New Zealand wealthier than Papua New Guinea?

          Even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, why is it that Australia and New Zealand became technologically advanced and wealthier? Well, I believe that is because they had more people coming from Europe to sell with them. And at that time Europe was actually technologically advanced, and they brought their things with them. I also believe that Australia and New Zealand were also located nearer the sea and therefore it was easier for them to trade things when ships came by. Another reason I think technologically advanced and wealthier than Papua New Guinea is because Papua New Guinea was located in jungle and not as open as Australia and New Zealand. And the people that lived in Papua New Guinea actually hunted for food and gathered plants and didn't really have much time to learn about technology. Whilst the people in Australia and New Zealand started to grow plants and harvest crops.


          Why is it that Australia and New Zealand had settlers and traders coming from Europe and not Papua New Guinea? One of the reasons is because the British had been occupying many other countries and decided to make Australia a"Prison Island"where all the criminals were to be sent to. Another reason is because the first settlers that came to New Zealand were the Dutch in the year 1642. And the first settlers that came to Australia were also the Dutch but they had failed in settling so the British came and took over in the year 1688.


          One of my last reasons is because Papua New Guinea only had hunters and gatherers and they lived in a jungle and they were always busy most of the time making sure they had food so they never had time to discover new technology like the people in Australia and New Zealand who started planting plants and harvesting crops. In Papua New Guinea it is only jungle, so there are no cows or goats that can survive in the jungle and that means that they didn't have animals that could give more then just one thing because cows and goats can give milk and meat but in the jungle there are bores instead which can only give out meat. When the people in Australia and New Zealand started farming then they started living a healthier live since they could domesticate animals and get milk and so on


         Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand are three very very different countries. New Zealand and Australia have more tourists sites and attractions for foreigners and on the other hand Papua New Guinea is more of a jungle,tribal type of place. And if you like bird watching or an adventure then I think you will enjoy Papua New Guinea. Even though Australia and New Zealand are technologically advanced doesn't mean people should treat the people in Papua New Guinea any differently than you should treat the people in Australia or New Zealand.
