Why does God insist on sending prophets to that area in particular. Why not Australia for instance?
(I mean Judaism, Christianit and Islam)

I think all major cultures have had a religion, not just the middle east. For instance the australia aborigines had some religion based on a very philisophical spiritual plane they called "the dreaming". The maya worshiped a sun god. Native Americans were very spiritual people before colonists ever settled.
They just aren't the religions you think of now, but I am sure most cultures had religion. Probably most early primitive tribes worshiped many gods connected to nature (volcanos, the sun or stars , etc).

Look at the emergence of the major religions as they initiated their systems, and see if they can be assigned dates of initiation. I think you'll find the "majors" started in the middle east, and the offshoots spread from there, including religions of the far east. Eden was in the middle east. Even scientists give way to the origins of "modern man" to a unique couple (assumed very prolific although reportedly many years apart, sharing common DNA with all current mankind)) in the NE African portion of the Rift Valley (which reaches into the middle east)..... do we see a pattern forming here? No wonder it is called the "cradle of life" and various other nick names. It might be safe to assume something started there, that has some credible value to everyone.

The middle East being the craddle of civilization might have something to do with it. Especially if you notice how farther and farther removed from Judaism religions seem to get relative to how far removed they are from that area

I'm glad you brought up that you meant Judaism, Christianity and Islam, because that would total to 3. 3 out of hundreds hardly qualifies as most.
Here's a Wiki list of religions. -

Because the garden of Eden was in Iraq and the earth's population multiplied from there.
