About Australia
Australia is a country in Australasia, one of the 14 countries of Oceania on GlobeQuizz. Its full official name is Commonwealth of Australia. In Arabic, the name is written أستراليا, and the capital كانبرا. Its geographic centre lies in the Southern and Eastern hemispheres.
The capital of Australia is Canberra. Canberra lies at about 35° south and 149° east. The official language of Australia is English. Its currency is the Australian Dollar, with the symbol $ and the international code AUD. 3 other countries use the same currency, including Kiribati, Tuvalu, and Nauru.
Australia covers about 7,692,024 square kilometres, which puts it 6th by area among the 195 countries on GlobeQuizz. It has no land border with any other country; the sea surrounds its territory on every side. Other countries in Australasia include New Zealand. Its flag is easy to confuse with the flag of New Zealand, a classic trap in the Hard level of the flags quiz. To practise flags, capitals and currencies, play the Oceania quiz on GlobeQuizz, which mixes Australia with the other countries of the same region.
