Geography & Unique Features
Australia is the only nation that covers an entire continent, making it one of the world’s largest countries. While rich in natural resources and agricultural land, over one-third of the country is desert—known as the famous “outback.” Major cities and farmlands are concentrated in the more temperate southwest and southeast. The northeast boasts lush rainforests, and the Great Dividing Range sends water to vital rivers and the world’s largest underground aquifer—the Great Artesian Basin.
