I think that it's completely true that there are no deserts in Australia?
You would be wrong. An estimated 44% percent, or over one-third of Australia is made up of sandy or stony arid desert, while another 37% is semi-arid grassland or scrub. A desert is defined as any area that receives less than 250mm, or 10 inches, or precipitation as its annual rainfall, and this fits the description of much of Australia's interior. There are many deserts in Australia. They include: Great Victoria Desert Great Sandy Desert Tanami Desert Simpson Desert Gibson Desert Little Sandy Desert Strzelecki Desert Sturt Stony Desert Tirari Desert Pedirka Desert In addition, there is the Nullarbor Plain, an arid, limestone region extending for some 270,000 square km above the Great Australian Bight. Nothing is cultivated there, and in many respects its aridness places it within the category of desert, but there is little (if any) sand there.
