The majority of the Australian population lives down the east coast and along the south coast to just west of Adelaide. This is because that is where most of the rain falls.
The populated regions extend 100 to 300 kilometres inland from the coast. Even within these areas there are regions with very few people because either there is little rain or the soil has no fertility. Anywhere west of a wobbly line from about Cairns to Adelaide is semi-arid or arid.
There is a patch of population around Perth in Western Australia because, again, that is where rain falls. The more northerly coast of WA is a region where the desert comes down to the sea.
The fact is that about 70% of the country is effectively uninhabitable.

You can drive around 2 hours out of any major city and could swear no soul has ever been there before. Not even that hard to find coastal regions that give this but far North West Western Australia will do it. Really depends on what you mean by developed. If I name a place it means its developed in my books.

The centre (interior) of the country mostly has small towns or is deserted. The huge majority if the population lives along the coasts. You should see the area around Ayre's Rock- if they didnt bring in all the people to work there, there would just be a huge rock in the middle of an even huger desert.

85% of the population are in the SE corner of Australia (draw a line along the mountain range from Rockhampton (central Queensland) to Adelaide.
The Northern Territory (south of Kathrine) has cattle ranches larger than some USA states. (... maybe 200 ranches in an area the size of Montana, though I am not sure of the correct figure)
Much of Northern Territory and Western Australia you need to get permission from local Aboriginal tribes to drive through their land (Aboriginal Affairs Offices in Darwin and Perth, respectively)

properly different posters have mentioned that SETI doesnt deliver messages. yet this factor is carefully Irrelavant. human beings nonetheless do promote our existance by way of different ability so your question maintains to be valid. The Voyager spacecraft are and occasion of ways we promote ourselves. That being mentioned I totally consider RailBuff If its a decision between lack of information and information i choose for awareness each and every time. the possibilities of there being any form of Independance Day form aliens who will wipe us out is a lot decrease that looking aliens who're no longer able to accomplish this style of massive scale invasion of different worlds. If everyone ever exhibits the Voyager spacecraft it is going to much extra in all probability be species that it stumbles upon relatively than a species who seek for it out. And if SETI hear something it is going to maximum in all probability be some alien worlds television alerts floating by way of area relatively than a announcement of conflict despatched right now at us.

Western Australia is, but really the interior interior is pretty devoid of human life.

Anywhere off the coast really. As in most countries people flock to the water.
