Australia, satellite image. North is at top. Australia is the world's smallest continent. It is located in the southern hemisphere, southeast of Asia. As most of Australia's interior is desert, populations are focused on the coasts. The largest cities in Australia, Sydney and Melbourne, and the country's capital city, Canberra, are located in the southeast of the country near to the Pacific coast. Darwin is located in the tropical Northern Territories and Perth is on Australia's west coast. Alice Springs is the largest town in Australia's desert interior. The large island off the southeast coast is the Australian state of Tazmania
