3. The geography of Australia encompasses a
wide variety of biogeographic regions being
the world's smallest continent but the sixth-
largest country in the world. The population
of Australia is concentrated along the
eastern and southeastern coasts. The
geography of the country is extremely
diverse, ranging from the snow-capped
mountains of the Australian Alps and
Tasmania to large deserts, tropical and
temperate forests.

4.  Neighbouring
countries include
Indonesia, East Timor
and Papua New
Guinea to the north,
the Solomon Islands,
Vanuatu and the
French dependency
of New Caledonia to
the east, and New
Zealand to the
southeast.

5. Australia is a country, and an island. It is
located in Oceania between the Indian
Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. It is the
sixth largest country in the world with a
total area of 7,686,850 square kilometers
(2,967,909 sq. mi) (including Lord Howe
Island and Macquarie Island), making it
slightly smaller than the 48 states of the
contiguous United States and 31.5 times
larger than the United Kingdom.

7. Australia consists of
six states, two major
mainland territories,
and other minor
territories. The
states are New South
Wales, Queensland,
South Australia,
Tasmania, Victoria
and Western
Australia.

8.  Because much of Australia's interior is arid, the
low average annual rainfall means interior
rivers are often dry and lakes empty. The
headwaters of some waterways are located in
tropical regions where summer rains create a
high rate of discharge. Flood events drastically
alter the dry environment in which the ecology
of central Australia has had to adapt to the
boom and bust cycle.
 The Great Artesian Basin is an important
source of water, the world's largest and deepest
fresh water basin.

10. The Australian continental landmass consists of 6
distinct landform divisions.
These are:
 The Eastern Highlands—including the Great
Dividing Range, the fertile Brigalow Belt strip of
grassland behind the east coast, and the
Eastern Uplands
 The Eastern alluvial Plains and Lowlands—
Murray Darling basin covers southern part, also
includes parts of the Lake Eyre Basin and
extends to the Gulf of Carpentaria

11. The South Australian Highlands—including
the Flinders Range, Eyre Peninsula and
Yorke Peninsula.
The Western Plateau—including the
Nullarbor Plain.
The Central Deserts.
Northern Plateau and Basins—including the
Top End.
