Detailed explanation-1: -Australia’s coastline stretches almost 50, 000 kilometres and is linked by over 10, 000 beaches, more than any other country in the world. More than 85 per cent of Australians live within 50 kilometres of the coast, making it an integral part of our laid-back lifestyle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Over 25 million people live in Australia, and 85 percent of them live near the coast. Most Australians are city dwellers. Nearly 64 percent of the population resides in the five largest cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.
Detailed explanation-3: -The coastline of Australia comprises the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania. It nominally includes a part of all Australian states and territories; the otherwise landlocked Australian Capital Territory has a coastal enclave at Jervis Bay Territory.
Detailed explanation-4: -9 out of 10 people live on only 3% of the land. Most of Australia’s 19 million people live near the coast, because the inner parts are made up of deserts. 80% of the country’s population live in the south-eastern part of the country.
