Australia is a country and a continent, but it is not formally classed as an island. Geographically, Australia is a continent, as it sits on its own tectonic plate, and it is often referred to as an island continent, being completely surrounded by water. However, it is too large to be classed as an island. The world's largest island is Greenland.
