According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics - www.abs.gov.au - 64% of the Australian population is located in capital cities. The most populous capital city is Sydney (capital of New South Wales) followed by Melbourne (capital of Victoria).

The major of people in Australia live on the coast. The population density drops quite significantly when moving inland.

Where in Australia is the population most dense?

Not at all. The majority of Australia's population is concentrated along the eastern and southern coasts, leaving vast areas of the continent virtually uninhabited. Because of this, Australia's population density is about 3 people per square kilometre, one of the lowest in the world. As a comparison, the population density of the United States is about 34 people per square kilometre, while in the United kingdom it is 259 people per square kilometre.

Is Australia very populated?

Although Australia has a low population density and a relatively small population of about 22 million, most of the country is inhospitable desert, so most people tend to live in the small temperate areas along some of the coast. There is also not much water in Australia so much of the country is under water restrictions. There is a school of thought that due to Australia's climate, the long term maximum sustainable population levels should revert to World War 2 levels of 9 to 10 million.
