There is no answer to this question as it has been asked. Any landmass must be either a continent or an island: it cannot be both.

Australia is a continent, and the native home of over 60 species of kangaroos. Geographically and geologically speaking, it is too large to be an island. It is sometimes called an island continent due to the fact that it is entirely surrounded by water, but it is not an island.
