Firstly to Liza who seems to think that Australia is too small to be more than one country .... DO you know how BIG australia is ...
try NEARLY the same size as the United States ( save alaska) ...
and tommy .. WE ARE ONE NATION AND ONE CONTINENT , the general area we live in is described as AUSTRALASIA .. just as the USA, Canada and South America are describes as THE AMERICAS
It is said of Australia that we are the world's largest Island and smallest Continent.
N.B.... the one nation comment has nothing to do with Ms Hanson's ONE NATION
EDIT .. OK .. Liza .. appologies for being so gruff ... didn't realise how young you are and therefore shouldn't have expected you SHOULD know .. BUT here... This is a link to wikipedia's page on Australia .. have a look at the map .. the green place on the map is Australia .. we are a pretty large place .. and we're the one nation . there is a small green dot near the bottom of the mainland and that is Tasmania one of our states...

It's the only continent which consists of one country. And it's an island as well.
