You would find it almost impossible to draw the complete boundary of Australia. This is because Australia includes thousands of coastal and other nearby islands as well as many separated territories.
The largest contiguous Australian boundary is the perimeter of the continental body of Australia, where land meets sea. But then you also must trace the edges of the thousands of Australian islands plus those of the several Australian territories.
The territorial maritime boundaries around Australia extend to the following -
Off the northern coast: Thursday Island (39 km north of Cape York Peninsula) and the Torres Strait islands.
East: to the Coral Sea Islands Territory, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island (although Norfolk Island is an Australian territory, a passport is required for anyone, including Australians, to enter it).
In the west: to Heard and McDonald Islands in the southwest and Ashmore and Cartier Islands in the northwest. Further west beyond this, Australia's territory includes Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
In the south: to Macquarie Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Please see Web link for a list of the primary islands, and the territories, of Australia.

∙ 14y agoThe total land area of Australia is 7 692 024 square kilometres.
The perimeter of Australia's coastline is 35 877 kilometres, but its islands make up another 23 859 kilometres, giving a total coastline length (perimeter) of 59 736 km.

What is an example of a political boundary and a natural boundary?

When India and Australia move in different directions what type of plate boundary will form between them?
A divergent boundry will form beetween them.
Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
Why is Japan more likely than Australia to have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Answer Japan is located along a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. Plate collisions such as this will result in volcanism and earthquakes when the enormous pressures associated with such collisions is released through sudden plate movement. Australia is not located along a plate boundary.

“Boundary fence question” if a shed wall is on the boundary line and a fence is built, as close to the shed as possible. Is the fence line after 15 years taken as the new boundary line In adverse possession law (I live in Victoria, Australia.)?
A boundary is a restriction, a line of demarkation. That fence is the boundary between our property. The ball went outside of the boundary.
Which meridian forms the eastern boundary of the state of Western Australia?
The eastern border of Western Australia is defined by 129 degrees E latitude.
A area that is called formal region?
A government defined boundary. It can also be a boundary set up by some form of administration and is not disputable. For example, any city, such as Sydney, Australia.
Are there any fault lines in Australia?
Nope, Australia sits on the Australian-Indian plate. The nearest plate boundary or fault line is off the coast of East Timor and Indonesia.
Where would find the most earthquakes at an ocean-continent boundary?
Asia, then Africa the, Europe, Australia, and finally North America
Where do Volcaneos happen?
Volcanoes are found at the boundary areas of specific tectonic plates. These areas are in Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and Indonesia.
