Approximately the size of 48 mainland state of the USA and double the size of Europe, Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. Oddly enough though it has the lowest population density in the world with only two people per square kilometre. Australia's 50,000 kilometres of coastline is linked by over 10,000 beaches, which is also more than any other country in the world. Over 85% of Australians live within 50 kilometres of the coast, which is reflected by their laid-back lifestyle. The mainland is considered the largest island and the world’s smallest continent. Not to mention Australia is the only nation to govern their entire continent and outlying islands.
