 Two figures are shown. The first, line graph, shows the number of visits to Australia by overseas residents from 1975 to 2005.  The second table shows the number of visitors to Australia from other countries. This report will analyze the overall trend.

    Firstly, the overall trend for the first line graph is that the number of visitors increased to over 30 million from 1975 to 2005. For example, in 1975 the number of visitors was nearly 9 million and become 16 million in 1985. From 1985 to 1995 a huge increase saw the number of visitors increase by 9 million to become 24 million. In 2005 the number of visitors increased and became 31 million visitors.

    The second table shows the number of visitors from other countries in 1975 and 2005. The overall trend is Japan had the largest number of visitors. For example, the number of visitors in 1975 was 3.3million and it dramatically increased in 2005 and become 12 million. The second highest visitors were from South Korea which is 2.5 million in 1975 and 9.1 million in 2005, followed by Europe which in 1975 was 1.1, million then 4.5 million in 2005. The lowest number of visitors was from Britain, the USA and China.
