Holiday by Destination
Australia is big. Really big. The country's geographical size is comparable to the USA, and almost twice the size of Europe, but its population is barely one third of the UK, with only two people per square kilometer.
Divided into eight states and territories, most residents inhabit the cities and towns dotted around the coast, which is linked by over 10,000 beaches (more than any other country in the world).
As we're talking facts, you may also be interested to know that Australia has 85.7 million sheep, 40 million kangaroos, the world's longest piece of straight railway track, and, most important of all, the heaviest crab (14 kg) found in Bass Strait near Tasmania.
