Where is "Australia"?

Question

I hardly ever hear about that place, is it real!?

Answer 1

Aloha from Down Unda!
It's too real! It's 'raw', 'harsh' & you're certainly missing the inconvienience of being isolated in a place that has no concept of 'service', 'punctuality' or 'pleasantness'. After six years of sport, sport & more sport, where even poker & bowling are sports, twang, twang & more twang, warm beer, gritty food & expensive water, wierd animals & insects, & routine raging forest fires, regardless of the geographical location, it's too close to hell. My Australian bride & Kylie Minogue are the ONLY two wonderful exceptions.

Answer 2

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the world's smallest continent and a number of islands in the Southern, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and the French dependency of New Caledonia to the northeast, and New Zealand to the southeast.

The mainland of Australia has been inhabited for more than 42,000 years by Indigenous Australians. After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and by European explorers and merchants starting in the seventeenth century, the eastern half of the mainland was claimed by the British in 1770 and officially settled through penal transportation as the colony of New South Wales on 26 January 1788. As the population grew and new areas were explored, another five largely self-governing Crown Colonies were successively established over the course of the 19th century.

On 1 January 1901, the six colonies became a Federation, and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and remains a Commonwealth Realm. The capital city is Canberra, located in the Australian Capital Territory. The current national population is around 20.6 million people, and is concentrated mainly in the large coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

Answer 3

Don't know where you're from, but you must be incredibly sheltered from the world.

Yes, Australia is real, it is a continent south of the Equator
and it has a nickname,
"The Land Down Under"

Australia is bordered by the
Indian Ocean on the West
the Southern Ocean on the South,
the Pacific Ocean on the East and collectively
The Timor Sea, Arafura Sea and the Coral Sea on the North.

its latitude and longitudinal extremes follow:
Northernmost Point – Cape York, Queensland (10°41' S)

Southernmost Point – South Point, Wilsons Promontory, Victoria (39°08' S)

Westernmost Point – Steep Point, Western Australia (113°09' E)

Easternmost Point – Cape Byron, New South Wales (153°38' E)

it is due SE of the continent of ASIA and directly south of the world's largest archipelago, Indonesia

Answer 4

It is definitely real. If I look out of my window I can see it - at least I can see my bit of it 100km west of Cape Byron, Australia's most easterly point.

We had the Olympic Games here in Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000. It is a great place, come for a holiday, you'll enjoy it.
