Even though Australia occupies an entire mainland and continent, it is not as big as many used to think. Its area is only 7.6 million square meters, and about 28 million people live in the country. At the same time, the inhabitants of Australia do not inhabit the entire area of the continent. And tourists who come to the country see, as a rule, only its coast. In the center of the mainland, there is nothing to do. Nobody lives there except Indians. Why this happened, read the material “DIP”.
Firstly, the closer to the center of the mainland, the fewer resources there are. The main mineral deposits are concentrated near the coast. Including oil and gas. True, there are reserves of the latter in the center of the mainland, but due to their remoteness, the profitability of their development is extremely low.
Secondly, agriculture is completely impossible in the center of Australia, since there is a large desert there. The climate here is unlikely to please ordinary inhabitants, there are no available sources of water, and the soil is not at all fertile.
And the third reason that no one wants to live in the center of the mainland is the fact that fighting kangaroos have chosen the area. A neighborhood with powerful and large animals is by no means the best option for making this place your permanent residence. Yes, and it is quite dangerous for tourists to be here.
