Is Australia next to the US?

Answer 1

Geographically speaking, Australia is literally a hemisphere away from the USA. Australia is a continent between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean, and located in Oceania. The United States lies within the continent of North America, and borders both the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean. The United States has a number of Pacific Island Wildlife Refuges, which are located in Oceania, but other countries lie between them and Australia. Economically speaking, however, Australia and the US are very similar, just as they are in areas such as standard-of-living and education.
