Whoa, It’s Pretty Big!
If you are a big fan of Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Chris Hemsworth, and Hugh Jackman, you will know that there is one thing common in them – they are all Australians. The country is world-famous for its natural wonders and wide-open spaces, its beaches, deserts, “the bush”, and “the Outback”. What’s more surprising is it’s actually a really big country.
With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometers, Australia is known as the sixth-largest country in the world. According to the locals, you should never underestimate the size of Australia. If you are thinking of a day trip to Cairns from Brisbane, that would be totally impossible. Even driving to Sydney from Brisbane would take you 12 hours.
