How far is it from the west of Australia to the east?
To go from Tamala, western Australia to Brisbane city, Queensland would take you 54h in a car. The distance is an amazing 4,994km! But instead of going straight through Australia you would go round the outside of it because the middle is nearly completely deserted and you would have a larger chance of running out of fuel or water and being miles from anywhere to top up.
What is the landscape like at the middle and coast?
The landscape in the middle of Australia is nearly completely deserted because it is very desert like and a very long way away from water sources. The Australian coast is amazingly beautiful! Australia has 10,685 beaches! Wow thats amazing! Guess what? Nearly 80% of the Aussies live within 100km of the sea!
What is the population?
There's an amazing population of 24,580,634 people in Australia! That probably seems like a lot but its not considering how big Australia is! Only about three people live in every square mile of Australia! compare that with the UK it seems tiny, in the UK about 262 people live in every square mile!
