You would find it almost impossible to draw the complete boundary of Australia. This is because Australia includes thousands of coastal and other nearby islands as well as many separated territories.
The largest contiguous Australian boundary is the perimeter of the continental body of Australia, where land meets sea. But then you also must trace the edges of the thousands of Australian islands plus those of the several Australian territories.
The territorial maritime boundaries around Australia extend to the following -
Off the northern coast: Thursday Island (39 km north of Cape York Peninsula) and the Torres Strait islands.
East: to the Coral Sea Islands Territory, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island (although Norfolk Island is an Australian territory, a passport is required for anyone, including Australians, to enter it).
In the west: to Heard and McDonald Islands in the southwest and Ashmore and Cartier Islands in the northwest. Further west beyond this, Australia's territory includes Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
In the south: to Macquarie Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Please see Web link for a list of the primary islands, and the territories, of Australia.

When India and Australia move in different directions what type of plate boundary will form between them?
A divergent plate boundary will form between India and Australia when they move in different directions. This boundary will result in the two plates moving away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust as magma rises to the surface.
Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
