Australia is a very empty place. Half the population live in the red areas, the other half live in the blue areas, and the areas in silver are totally uninhabited...

I was in Perth, WA and drove up to Pinnacles Rocks, a hard day's drive there and back.
In the UK, I looked for Pinnacles on the map and went up and down the map and couldn't find it. I eventually found it and it looked almost like a suburb of Perth... half a day's drive!!
Oz really IS unbelievably big, in a way that's difficult for us in Europe to comprehend.

Like you say boggers, coming from the UK it is hard to comprehend how big Aus is. Google how big is Europe compared to Australia.
