If you mean geographic and climatic regions, then Australia covers a wide range of diverse areas. There are desert, alpine, tropical, sub-tropical, temperate, and Mediterranean-style areas throughout the nation.

If the question refers to the states and territories of Australia:

Australia has 6 states:

1.Queensland

2. New South Wales

3. Victoria

4. South Australia

5. Western Australia

6. Tasmania

and two mainland territories:

1. Australian Capital Territory

2. Northern Territory

There is a mistaken belief that Jervis Bay, which is the seaport for the ACT is a separate territory. It is not separate, as it is part of the ACT.

There are also seven external (offshore) territories:

1. The Australian Antarctic Territory (in Antarctica)

2. Coral Seas Territory or Islands, which are a group of uninhabited islands in the Coral Sea, northeast of Australia

3. Norfolk Island, which is in the Pacific Island off Australia's east coast, between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia

4. Territory of Heard and McDonald Islands - these islands are sub-Antarctic, positioned in the Indian ocean, about two-thirds of the way from Madagascar to Antarctica

5. Territory of Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island, which are in the Indian Ocean in southwest Asia, halfway between northwestern Australia and Timor island

6. Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which is in the Indian Ocean, about half way between Australia and Sri Lanka.

7. Territory of Christmas Island, which is in the Indian Ocean, about 2600 kilometres northwest of Perth
