The landform that covers more than half of the continent of Australia is the Outback, which refers to the vast, arid interior region. This area is characterized by its desert landscapes, sparse vegetation, and unique ecosystems. The Outback is not only significant in size but also plays a crucial role in Australia's culture and identity.
There is no landform which overs more than half of Australia. While previous answers have suggested "desert", this is incorrect. True desert covers only 18-20% of the Australian continent. Semi-arid area covers another 45%, but this area is not classified as desert.

Australia has only ever had one "official" name, and that is its current name: The Commonwealth of Australia. As a continent, the name "Australia" was adopted in 1824, but this did not refer to the country, as Australia was not yet a country, but a group of colonies occupying the same continent. Before it was called Australia, the western half was known as New Holland, and the eastern half was New South Wales.
New Holland, the western half of the Austalian continent, became Australia by default - a consequence of British colonisation. The name "Australia" was formally adopted for the rest of the continent in 1824, but the New Holland part of the continent was not considered part of Australia until the British formally claimed it in 1829.
Asia is the largest continent in terms of land area. It covers around 30% of the Earth's land area and is home to over half of the world's population.
