Australia
Kangaroo's home continent
Australia is a country occupying the world's smallest continent, located in the Southern Hemisphere between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The name also refers to the continent itself and the broader region sometimes called Australasia.
Informally shortened to Oz or Aussie (which also describes its people and things).
We're planning a trip to Australia next year.
