Country information
Geography
Australia occupies the whole of the island continent of the same name and lies between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Although the country's land mass is half as big again as that of Europe, most of Australia is empty. The population is predominantly concentrated in the south eastern coastal cities of Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. The interior of the country - the Outback - is comprised of sparsely populated semi-desert and tropical wetlands.
