Australia did not "split" from the United Kingdom: it was never part of the UK, but rather, it was a colony of the British Empire.
Achieving full independence from the British Empire was a process that occurred over a period of about 85 years. It began on 1 January 1901, when federation of the colonies was achieved and the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed. This gave Australia the right to govern itself. However, although the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia came into effect at Federation, this did not mean that Australia was now independent of Great Britain. When the UK approved colonial federation, it simply meant that the six self-governing states of Australia allocated some functions to a federal authority. Australia gained the status of a Dominion, which meant it remained a self-governing colony within the British Empire, with the Head of State being the British monarch. The British government appointed Australia's Governor-General and State Governors, who answered to the British government.
All Dominions within the British Empire were declared "equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations" at the Imperial Conference of 1926. The Statute of Westminster 1931 ratified the discussions of the Imperial Conference. This meant that Australia and other Dominions such as South Africa, New Zealand and Canada could now conduct treaties and agreements with foreign powers, and manage their own military strategies. No longer were the Australian Governor-General, Parliament and individual governors answerable to the UK. The British monarch could only act on the advice of the Australian Government, and the Governor-General was no longer appointed by and answerable to the British monarch.
The defeat of the large British garrison at Singapore in January 1942 came as a very unwelcome shock to the Australian government. It exposed the weakness of Britain and led Australia to seek much closer ties with the US and it was felt that for this the country needed full independence; hence the date for activating the 1931 Statute of Westminster. Australian Parliament formally adopted the Statute of Westminster 1931 under the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942, on 9 October 1942.
Australia reached the next stage of independence on 3 March 1986, when the Australia Acts came into effect. The Australia Acts declared that Australia had the status of a Sovereign, Independent and Federal Nation. The nation still retains Elizabeth II as head of state, but her position as Australia's head of state is a completely separate position from her position as the head of state of any other country, including the UK. What the Australia Act effectively did was remove the ability of the British Government to make laws for Australia and removed the last legal link with the UK by abolishing the right of appeal to the judicial committee of the Privy Council. Also it was not until 1988 that the last state, Queensland, removed this from their statutes as well.
Some might say Australia is still on a path to independence as the country is still technically ruled by the British monarchy, even though that monarchy does not have any right to interfere with Australian laws. There will always be those who disagree with the above, as it could be said that Australia received independence in varying degrees.
Australia is divided into six states and two territories.

The US and the UK split Oregon Territory in half along the 49th parallel.
UK, Canada and Australia (+ Israel).

7,686,850 km2 for Australia, 244,101 km2 for the UK. So Australia is 31.49 times bigger than the UK.
No one. The UK was formed by a union of seperate countries. Of those, only parts of Ireland have split from it, or rather the whole territory was split, and part came back.
"The land mass of the UK is 243,609 sq km The land mass of Australia is 7,692,024 sq km The UK will fit into Australia about 31.5 times."
