Australia is not classified as an island, but as a continent. because it is surrounded by water, it is an island continent: not an island.

Semantics aside, there are many countries that are islands, such as New Zealand, the Philippines, Timor Leste, Greenland (the world's largest island), Iceland and Madagascar, just to name a few.
