Australia is the 6th largest country in the world at 7,686,850 km2 (2,967,909 sq mi) The United States of America is the 3rd or 4th (disputed see below) largest country in the world at 9,826,630 km2 (3,794,066 sq mi). The difference is 2,139,780 km2 (826,157sq mi) or a 21.77% difference. The discrepancy in the rank of the US's size comes from a dispute between China and India who both claim several areas of land (the Aksai Chin, the Trans-Karakoram Tract, and the Arunachal Pradesh) If these areas are included in China's area it becomes the 3rd largest country in the world and the United States would be 4th. If they are not included, the United States would be 3rd and China 4th.

The US takes up approximately 1.927% of Earth's total surface area and 6.598% of Earth's land area.

The High Court is the highest court in the Australian judicial system. It was established in 1901 by Section 71 of the Constitution. The functions of the High Court are to interpret and apply the law of Australia; to decide cases of special federal significance including challenges to the constitutional validity of laws and to hear appeals, by special leave, from Federal, State and Territory courts. The seat of the High Court is in Canberra, where it is located in its own building within the Parliamentary Triangle. The High Court building houses three courtrooms, Justices' chambers, and the Court's main registry, library, and corporate services facilities. In addition, there are offices of the High Court Registry in Sydney and Melbourne, staffed by officers of the High Court. In Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin and Perth, registry functions are performed on behalf of the High Court by officers of the Federal Court of Australia, and in Hobart they are performed by officers of the Supreme Court of Tasmania.

The Aborigines were the first immigrants thousands of years ago. The next wave started with the First Fleet in 1788. After the discovery of gold in the 19th century, people came from all over the world. The next major wave of immigrants was post World War 2, mostly from Italy, and from Europe generally. Then in the 1970's, it was pretty much everybody who wanted to come here including refugees by legal and illegal means.

Tsunamis are more common than realised in Australia, possibly because the continent has been relatively free of major damaging tsunamis. However, recent research has indicated that, in the past 130 years, the continent has experienced 145 tsunamis, resulting in 11 deaths. 85 percent of these have been along the eastern coast.

Essentially, the Australian outback is characterised by hot, dry days in summer, and dry winters with cold nights.

However, in a continent as vast as Australia, there are variations. In the north, for example, the outback invariably experiences monsoonal rains in summer.

For much of its course, the Darling River is not very deep at all. The Darling River, which is a tributary of the Murray, is quite low and dry in some of its upper reaches.
