A landmass is either an island or a continent. Geographical definition dictates it cannot be both.Both Australia and Antarctica are continents which are surrounded by water. This makes them island continents, but they are classed as continents.
Australia is a continent, (the world's smallest), a country (the world's sixth largest) and numerous islands. It comprises the mainland of the Australian continent, which is a continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian, Pacific and southern Oceans.As a landform, it could be considered an island as it is entirely surrounded by water and not joined onto any other land mass. For this reason, it is often referred to as an island continent. Australia is too big to be formallyclassified as an island. The world's largest island is Greenland.Another reason why Australia is also considered a continent is because it sits on its own tectonic plate. This is different from Greenland, which uses the same land mass as North America. That is why the geological appearances are much different in Australia from anywhere else. A place like Greenland shares the same geologic attributes as North America.

As a landform, it could be considered an island as it is entirely surrounded by water and not joined onto any other land mass. For this reason, it is often referred to as an island continent. Australia is too big to be formallyclassified as an island. The world's largest island is Greenland.Australia can also be taken to be both a continent and a country, if we accept the definition of continent as being one of the large continual land masses on Earth (which would exclude nearby countries such as New Zealand, which are not part of a continuing land mass).Another reason why Australia is also considered a continent is because it sits on its own tectonic plate.
