Best Answer

Over 92% of the Australian population are urban dwellers along the east and southeastern quadrant of the continent, ranging from Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts of southern Queensland, down the New South Wales coastline to Victoria and its capital, Melbourne. This is the most fertile region of Australia, with the most flowing rivers. It also includes the capital, Canberra, which has the highest population density of all the states.

The north, west and southern coasts are not nearly as hospitable, with only pockets of land being suitable for sustaining larger populations. In fact, when the Dutch first arrived on the Western shores of the continent in the 1600s, they found the land to be so unappealing and lacking in resources that they chose not to make any territorial claims.

In coastal regions, mostly in the Southeast. Few people live in the interior because it is a dry, hostile environment. The North of Australia is also very hot, and more tropical, but also quite hostile to human settlement.
