Physical Features:
Australia has some major physical features that give it a unique landscape such as the Western Plateau, which is a low, flat area that has been eroded over a period of millions of years.
Australia is ancient and it has some of the oldest geological features in the world. The most famous rock of course is Uluru in the Northern Territory. Formerly named Ayers Rock.
Apart from Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent in the world. About 35% of the continent receives so little rain, it can be classified as desert.
Despite the popular references to Australia at the bottom of the world in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia is in fact the lowest continent in the world in terms of its elevation.
