Best Answer

No, Great Britain is not a neighbor of Australia. Australia is a continent and is in the Southern Hemisphere. If you look on a globe you will see it south of the equator. It is one big island. You will see that neighbors of

Australia are New Zealand & Indonesia.

Australia shares it's side of the planet with Asia. Looking north of the equator above Australia you will see the continents and countries of Asia, and to the west of Asia, going around the globe or planet, you will see Africa . Above Africa is the continent of Europe where Great Britain is.

Europe, and specifically Great Britain, are just across the Atlantic Ocean (to the west) from the USA. Great Britain is located in the northern hemishphere - above or north of the equator.

Answer

No. In Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the island groups near to them are also collectively known as the Anitpodes. Antipode means 'opposite'. Australia is, approximately, on the opposite side of the world from Great Britain.
