Constituting 5.2% of the total landmass of earth, Australia enjoys the status of being the only nation to occupy an entire continent. It is also the largest country in Oceania. There is an argument further to the effect that in technical terms, judging by its size, it is more proper to regard Australia as a continental landmass than an island. The coastal cities like Sydney in the East and Perth in the West accommodate a greater part of the population than the Australian Outback. This is because the latter ranks as one of the hottest and driest regions in the world.<\/p>\n
