Is Australia the world’s largest island and its smallest continent? Actually, it’s both. In fact, Australia is the only country that is also a continent. Australia has a population of about 16.5 million. That makes this island nation one of the least densely populated countries.

What ethnic groups make up the Australia population? The majority of Australians are English, Irish, Greek, Dutch, and Polish. However, over the past 50 years, some four million people from more than 120 countries have made Australia their home. This includes a large number of Asian and African immigrants.

In addition to being the smallest, Australia is also the driest inhabited continent. Lush green pastures may be typical in sheep farming areas. However, most of the land, particularly in Outback, is so arid that people are unable to live on it in its undeveloped state. That explains why most Australians live in metropolitan areas, many of which line the coast, and why Australia is considered one of the world’s more urbanized countries.
