Extended information:

Commonwealth of Australia (English: Australia) for short. Its territory covers an area of 7,692,24 square kilometers and is surrounded by the sea. It is the only country in the world whose territory covers an entire continent, so it is also called "Australia". Australia, which has many unique animals, plants and natural landscapes, is a multicultural immigrant country.

the word "Australia" originally meant "the continent of the south" and was changed from the Latin terraaustralis. When Europeans discovered this continent in the 17th century, they mistakenly thought it was a land that went straight to the South Pole, so they named it "Australia".
