Australia is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of size. But it doesn’t have a large population. This means that it’s major cities are all fairly scatted in different parts of the country. But there’s something weird going on here: none of these major cities are on the northern coast which is far closer to Asia and the rest of the world.
In this video, we’ll cover the physical geography of Australia and how it differs from north to south. Then we’ll dive into the early human and British settlement of Australia. Finally, we’ll talk about the unique geographic constraints the north has that actively presents major cities from being established there, even in 2025.
