The Only Country-Continent
Australia’s unique geography makes it the only country occupying an entire continent. Australians take pride in this distinction, bolstered by the fact that Australia is an island surrounded by vast oceans. This isolation contributes to a sense of self-sufficiency among the Australian people.
Despite its deceptively small appearance on maps, Australia is comparable in size to the continental United States. The landmass spans a vast area, and while a significant portion comprises uninhabited wilderness, it remains a testament to the country’s diverse and expansive landscapes.
