Australia is comprised largely of desert and semi-arid land, some of which is sandy, and some of which is stony desert, known as gibber. There are numerous flat areas of bushland and mallee and mulga scrub, and extensive rainforest in the far north and in sections along the eastern coast, including Tasmania.

A significant mountain range, the Great Dividing Range, extends right along the eastern coast from the far north to the south, in western Victoria. The world's two highest monoliths (or rather, inselbergs) are located in Australia. They are Mt Augustus and Uluru (Ayers Rock).

Much of the land along the east coast and in the southeast quarter of the continent is rich and fertile. Australia is known for its clean, pristine beaches and the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland. The world's largest sand island, Fraser Island, also lies off the Queensland coast.

Tasmania (Australia's island state) is a rugged, wild island.

Australia is very vast - almost as large as the United States so it depends which region you are in.

It is an island continent so there are many beaches. Along the eastern coast is the Great Dividing Range, which extends from the far north down to Victoria, ending in the west of Victoria. As a result, there is a variety of forests, bushland, rainforests, deserts, mountains and plains. Inland Australia is very dry and dotted with salt lakes, some of which are below sea level.

Australia's landscape varies according to the region.

  • There are huge tracts of uninhabited land, semi-arid and/or desert, in the interior.
  • Its beaches are among the best in the world, clean and pristine.
  • There are regions of rugged mountain ranges, of soaring cliffs and steep mountain gullies.
  • Flat plains and grasslands are abundant, as are rolling hills.
  • Some regions of the outback have fantastic, huge salt pans.
  • Australia is home to the world's two largest monoliths, Mt Augustus and Ayers Rock /Uluru.
  • There are unusual mountain and sandstone formations such as the Warrumbungles and the Bungle-Bungles.
  • There are regions of snow-covered mountains in winter, where snow sports are actively practised.
