About the map

Australia World Map
Australia on a World Map

Australia is the largest country in Oceania and the sixth-largest country in the world. It’s the smallest continent on Earth, but it’s also too large to be an island.

Australia is nicknamed the “Land Down Under” because it’s situated below the equator. It also includes the island state of Tasmania to the southeast, which is the 26th largest island in the world.

Australia is located near Indonesia, East Timor, and Papua New Guinea to the north. Also, several islands are situated to the east such as New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji Islands. Finally, New Zealand is across from the Tasman Sea to the southeast.
