According to the Australian Government's Geoscience website, the mainland area of Australia is 7 659 861 sq km, and the total land area (including 32 163 sq km for the islands) of Australia is 7 692 024 sq km. This equates to about 2 969 907 sq miles.
If you add the marine area of Australia (410 977 sq km), the total surface area of the continent, including its immediate islands and their waters, is 8 103 001 sq km. This figure excludes all the offshore territories of Australia.
Australia is the smallest continent, but not the largest island. In area, it is the 6th largest country in the world. It is larger than the USA, if one excludes Alaska.
Australia's total mainland coastline length is 35 877 km.

∙ 12y agoBelieve it or not, Australia is the same size as mainland America. This is not including south America or any of the islands.
Everyone just thinks Australia is smaller because it has a smaller population. This is because as the middle of Australia is mostly desert, the majority of the population lives near the coast, on the edges of the continent. I lived in canberra, which is close to Sydney.
