Australia country facts
  • Nearly 90% of Australians live near the coast, as the central regions are largely uninhabitable due to arid conditions. Coastal cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Perth are known for their beaches, harbours and vibrant urban life.
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have inhabited the continent for over 65,000 years, with their cultural practices, languages, and art forms forming an essential part of the nation’s identity.
  • The Great Barrier Reef runs along the coast of Queensland and is the largest coral reef system in the world. It’s made up of over 2,900 reefs and supports a vast range of marine life, including sea turtles and over 1,500 fish species.
  • The continent has unique wildlife, including marsupials such as kangaroos, koalas and platypus, which is among the few mammals that lay eggs.
  • Australia has more than 60 wine regions, producing around 1 billion litres of wine each year. Notable wine areas include the Barossa Valley in South Australia and the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.
  • Stretching over 3,500 kilometres from Queensland to Victoria, the Great Dividing Range is the longest mountain range in the country and significantly influences the climate and biodiversity of the region.
  • The Sydney Opera House, an iconic landmark designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, was inspired by natural forms like clouds and bird wings. It took 14 years to complete and hosts over 1,500 performances annually.
