The population of Australia has doubled in just the last 50 years and is now 22, 421,417. This makes Australia’s population density 2.92 (per km2), which is fairly close in comparison to Canada’s population density which is 3.43 (per km2).
Since Australia is an island, it is completely surrounded by water: to the west, the Indian Ocean, and to the east, the Southern Pacific Ocean. The mainland of Australia is also surrounded by thousands of smaller islands. All of this land in Australia is divided into 6 states and 3 territories.
England is also an island but Australia has a much bigger area! England only is only 129, 720 square km. The population of England is bigger than Austrlaia however. England has a popullation of 63,047,162 people and has a population denisty of 395 people per square km. England is also divided into states, but the English call them regions. There are 9 regions. Australia is very different from England and I can't wait to learn more about it!
ReplyDeleteAustralia is much larger than Italy! Italy has a totaly area of 301,230 km²! Australia is more than triple that size! The population density for Italy is 201.2 people per square km which is quite the difference from Australia. I'm excited to hear more about the country you chose especially the culture.
