Australia is the only country that takes up an entire continent.
Australia is therefore the only non-island country that shares no land borders with any other countries.
The wildlife is unique in that it comprises a large number of marsupial species.
Most of the land is flat except for the eastern seaboard, where the Great Dividing Range separates coast from the inland.
Australia is similar to other countries in that it was originally inhabited by native peoples, but it is different in that it was later colonised by convicts and officers.
