I just added the latest GA Australia map, but the aspect ratio on the main page is wrong. The original is a PDF. Could someone please fix this? Thanks,

I don't get the bit at maritime claims: nm? Isn't that nanometres? A very small unit? I'm confused... - Mark Ryan
Query - I don't understand the land usage statistics. 6% arable land etc... Does that mean UNUSED arable land? Then it says X% grazing land and so on... I assume the totals of all those numbers will add up to 100% Karen Johnson
The current article seems to be about the Geography of the Commonwealth of Australia instead of the Australian continent.
Is Britain part of Europe ? Yes / Is Japan part of Asia ? Yes / Is Tasmania part of Australia ? Yes / Is New Guinea part of Australia ? Yes. Because each of these is a continental island on their continental shelf. Can the authors please either update the article to reflect the geography of Australia, or otherwise rename it as the Geography of the Commonwealth of Australia (in which case please add information about Christmas & Lord Howe Islands. All Best :).211.30.84.166 17:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
== Monolith == bull shit
It's stated on the Monolith page that Uluru is not a Monolith, but this article claims it is... Annihilatenow 16:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I have mentioned the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, but it might be worthwhile that quite a bit of the weather (especially during summer) is caused by cold fronts coming up from the Southern Ocean.

please read WP:OWN - just because you created an article doesn't give you any greater ownership of the article now than anyone else. You do own copyright in your contributions, but by contributing them to Wikipedia you have explicitly licenced them under the GNU Free Documentation License. You claim on talk:Dryness of the Australian continent that you're not done and inten to complete the article, but it hasn't happened in over two months.
... according to Wikipedia, the highest point is actually here. Since the article specifically deals with the Commonwealth, I'm making the change. Leon 23:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Agreed, the highest point of the country is different than the highest point of the continent. This type of inaccuracy that stems from the confusion of the article's definition will be reoccurring until it is better defined. Perhaps the first paragraph should more explicitly define the scope of the article. To me, an example of a better defined article would be the Geography_of_the_United_States article.

Really? I think they mean 40% desert - but most of the Australian desert is not Sahara style sand dunes. Anyway, it definitely contradicts this Wikipedia article - Deserts of Australia - which says 18% of Australia is desert (which is also wrong) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.145.43 (talk) 23:09, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Australia satellite plane.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 26, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-01-26. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 23:49, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
"Coastline 25,765 km (16,000 mi)" Costlines are fractals, meaning if you measure it with a yardstick it will be very different then if you are measuring it with a inch or mile stick. Without saying what the measuring unit is 25,765 km means absolutely nothing. This is known as the Coastline paradox — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jooe15 (talk • contribs) 11:30, 15 January 2015 (UTC) The sidebar also completely contradicts the main article, possibly for the reasons stated above. "The Australian mainland has a total coastline length of 35,877 km (22,293 mi)" "Coastline 25,765 km (16,000 mi)"
The section [Natural Hazards] in Geography of Australia does not have enough detail and should have more info added (such as when they happen). Add tornadoes? (reference from [Climate]) Gr8vince - Vincent Tang (talk) 20:05, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Geography of Australia/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
The article has some inmportance as covering a specialised subset of Australian geography. However, the construction of the article is deficient - there is virtually no introduction and the total content is sparse, and spelling and grammar need attention. Most importantly, there are verifiability issues, and I have tagged the article for possible original research policy breach. Darcyj 11:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC) |

Some graphics have not been optimised to appear in relevant sections. I have removed the map showing states and highways from the Regions section as it shows political geography already covered by a clickable map in that section, as well as adjusting thumbnail sizes. The hydrology section will include a map of drainage divisions/catchments. 電放三葉 (RadioTrefoil) 02:53, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
