What is the population of Australia?

The population of Australia is over 18 million. 85% people live on the 85 km coastline of the east coast. Nearly a quarter of Australians were born overseas, while another fifth had parents born overseas. In the past ten years, the number of Asian immigrants has increased, and the number of China residents has exceeded 300,000. Most of them live in big cities such as Sydney or Melbourne.

Australians are easy-going and friendly. Because its population comes from more than 100 countries in the world, the government pursues a multicultural policy and different ethnic groups can live in peace.
