You’re absolutely right! Australia is known for its vast landscapes and relatively low population density. The majority of the population resides along the eastern and southeastern coasts, particularly in cities like Sydney and Melbourne. The interior, often referred to as the “Outback,” is sparsely populated due to its harsh conditions. This unique distribution highlights how geographic and environmental factors influence where people choose to live. It’s fascinating to see how such a large country has so many open spaces!
