}}Australia is a Cuban village and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. hamlet)[2] of the municipality of Jagüey Grande, Matanzas Province. It has an estimated population of 8,850.[3][1]

History

The village, founded in 1901, is in a sugar growing area and "dominated by the old, out-of-service sugar factory's chimney, with "Australia" written prominently down its length."[4] The village is named after the factory, the Central Australia,[5] which like others in the area were named after continents.[2]

The village was the first sugar town in Cuba to stop using slave labour,[6] and served as Fidel Castro's base of operations during the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.[4]

Geography

Located 2 km south of Jagüey Grande, Australia lies next to Zapata Swamp (Ciénaga de Zapata). It is served by the A1 motorway (linking Havana to Santa Clara) at the exit of Jagüey.[7]
