Australia's population is centered around its coastal cities because that is where the infrastructure was built. The interior is not highly populated. 80% of the population is on the coast and its many cities. Have you ever been there? I can guarantee you there is little spread-out or distanced inside of Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin, Brisbane, Townsend, Hobart--the places I have been to. I have not been to Perth but am told it is also densely populated. I have friends in Adelaide that say the same.
