*The word Australia came from the Latin australis, meaning "southern"
*The world's smallest continent
*Sixth largest country by total area
*Often dubbed the 'island continent'
*The world’s largest island
*Recognized as a megadiverse country
*Home for the Kangaroos and Koalas
*Australia has no state religion
*A.k.a “the land down under
Now, Do you guys know why is Australia called “the land down under”?! Well… Australia is the only continent with a permanent population that is entirely below the equator, hence the name, 'Down - Under' was given to Australia. Look at a globe and you will understand why. "The land down under" refers to its position on Earth.
That’s it for today! Hope you learn something from me.
