Why do the majority of people settle near the coast or waterways?

Much of inland Australia is vast, open countryside, which is ideal for running huge sheep or catle sations, or large agricultural holdings, which are maintained by just a few people.
The coastal areas are preferable for several reasons. The climate is more temperate, and better suited to the lifestyle that many people aspire to have, e.g. beaches, rivers, hot days but cooler nights (compared to the extremes inland). The landscape is more varied, and many people are naturally attracted to beaches and rainforests, rather than the rugged beauty of the outback.
Economically speaking, it makes more sense to have larger populations along the coast. This is where the ports and harbours are, so it is ideal for trade and imports/exports.
