Both Australia and Antarctica are island continents, but they are not "islands". They are too big to beformallyclassified as an island. The world's largest island is Greenland.
The reason why Australia and Antarctica are continents is because they sit on their own tectonic plates. This is different from Greenland, which uses the same land mass as North America. A place like Greenland shares the same geologic attributes as North America.
Australia and Antarctica are the only two true Continental Islands. That is, they are separated from all other continents by water. All other continents are connected by a landmass to at least one other Continent. If there are any waterways, they have been artificially created.
