Top 7 Facts about Australia

Living Near the Coast and the Cities

While Australia is a really big country, one of the most interesting facts about Australia is that it is mostly empty wilderness where you could drive for miles and miles without seeing any signs of civilization. In fact, more than 80 percent of the country’s population lives no farther than 62 miles (100 kilometers) from the coastline, making the country one of the most urbanized and coastal nations in the world.
