You can try to explain the reasons for the population distribution in Australia from the aspects of topography, climate, resources and transportation.

Australia is a tropical and subtropical region with a dry climate. The western part is a vast plateau desert. The high temperature in the central plain decreases from north to east to south, with little rainfall, so the population is concentrated in the southeast coastal areas.

climate

The terrain of Australia is characterized by juxtaposition of east and west. Most areas are hot and dry, and only the southeast coast has a suitable climate.

(The central and western regions are controlled by subtropical high, and the climate is dry, forming grasslands and deserts; The northeast coast is hot and rainy all year round, which is a primitive tropical rain forest; The southeast coast is located in subtropical zone and temperate zone, which is affected by the humid air flow from the ocean and has a warm and humid climate. )

The eastern resource is a watershed, where coal is mostly made of natural gas and other resources.

traffic

There are also reasons for the dense population in the southeast coast: the ports in this area are good and the external contact is convenient. British immigrants first arrived here to build cities and develop agriculture, animal husbandry and industry.
