Actually, it's both. It is the only country which is also a continent. It's the smallest land mass(continent) which is not divided up into countries.

It's actually both- it is the only continent that has the distinction of also being a country.

I'd say it's a country. The continent of which it is a part also includes New Guinea, New Zealand, etc...

If you simply say Australia then it represents both.If you say it is a continent , then it includes Tasmania and New zealand also.If you say that it is a country, then it refers to Australia only.

Both of them. See like this.... It's just like when some say America or America's which just refers to North America and South America and no the united States per se unless you talking about one country.
