Ah yes, just a tiny 7,692,024 km2 island, just a quick 150km Kai Marina sailing trip from PNG and Indonesia.

Human genome studies continue to explore the the genetic diversity of indigenous Australians, as it's a key to help understand early human migration. ABC summary of the genome report.

Australia is really not that much smaller than the lower 48 of the USA, and yet people (mostly Americans) seem to think it's some tiny rural island.
