Much of inland Australia is vast, open countryside, which is ideal for running huge sheep or catle sations, or large agricultural holdings, which are maintained by just a few people.
The coastal areas are preferable for several reasons. The climate is more temperate, and better suited to the lifestyle that many people aspire to have, e.g. beaches, rivers, hot days but cooler nights (compared to the extremes inland). The landscape is more varied, and many people are naturally attracted to beaches and rainforests, rather than the rugged beauty of the outback.
Economically speaking, it makes more sense to have larger populations along the coast. This is where the ports and harbours are, so it is ideal for trade and imports/exports.

The majority of people in Wales live near to the coast. South East Wales has the large cities - Cardiff, Swansea and the valleys to the north of these cities are also relatively heavily populated. In the North and mid-wales majority of large towns are on the coast. North East Wales has the largest town - Wrexham - this is on the border with England and therefore isn't on the coast!
The Greeks were the first people to settle on the island of the Aegean Sea. The Aegean Sea lies between the coast of Greece and Asia Minor, and contains over 2,000 islands.

Closest landfall to port of origin
