>>17545300full is a meme but the reality's not far off. people just live in mega cities on the coast and nobody generally lives too far away from the coast (shitty little 1000 people towns exist but there's 28 million people here)
and there's a good reason for this because living inland fucking sucks. you can discount 90% of australia's land as 'technically livable half the time but who would even do that'
