because of distance from the sea
Areas that are well away from the main coastal settled regions are generically referred to as the 'outback.' Often these areas are associated with rainfall that is low and are many hundreds of miles away from coastal regions. However, Australia has many rural areas that are not part of the Outback per se and often are quite close to major cities. These would just be termed rural or "country" areas, or simply "bushland", depending upon specific nature involved. In Aussie slang, extremely isolated areas might be called the 'donga.'
so water does not get through to their land and wash away land
One of the many ways in which the oceans affect the climate of coastal areas is by buffering temperature. Water holds heat better than air- it takes longer to heat up and cool down. Because of this, areas near the water tend to have more stable temperatures than those farther away.

The majority of Australians live close to the coastal regions. This may be due to vast areas of Australia being environmentally uninhabitable. Away from the coastal regions the availability of water becomes an issue, as does transportation. Urban centers originally were established where there was a suitable port and many of these are still in use. Settlements also grew up around the major river systems.
The coastal waters of McMurdo Sound are about 750 K north of the South Pole, and other coastal areas are farther away.
As warm water flows toward the poles, away from the equator, it loses its heat slowly to the air above it. Winds, in turn, transfer this heat to areas over which these winds blow. As a result, areas in northern latitudes may have warmer temperatures and milder winters than would be expected in those areas.
As long as you stay away from the equatorial regions where the temperature may occasionally reach 40 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Temperate rainforests are found in moist and cooler climates and distinct seasons, away from the equator.
Everywhere east of the Mississippi River, plus the whole gulf coast,but the farther away from a coast line, the lower the risk.The areas of the US most at risk for hurricanes are coastal areas on the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
There are very VERY nice views,but for a BIG cost........ reach into your wallet because if you move to the coasts be ready to pay BIG MONEY. Also,there is A LOT of fresh,crisp,air (depending if you are at the tip of Manhattan or if you in San Francisco,CA).
Sea snakes range from the coastal regions of eastern Africa, across to the coasts of India and Australia.
