  1. AUSTRALIAN POPULATION DISTRIBUTION

  2. Australia’s Population Distribution • Australia has an uneven population distribution • Australia's average population density at June 2001 was 2.5 people per square km, although parts of Sydney have densities of over 8000 people per square km • The distribution of Australia's population is shown on the following maps:

  3. Australian Population Distribution • Most of Australia's population is concentrated in two widely separated coastal regions. • By far the largest of these, in terms of area and population, lies in the south-east and east. • The smaller of the two regions is in the south-west of the continent. In both coastal regions the population is concentrated in urban centres, particularly the state and territory capital cities.

  4. Positive Factors (explain why people live somewhere) Moderate temperatures First settled near coast Natural resources Existing settlments = more services Fertile soils Negative Factors (explain why people don’t live somewhere) Too hot Too dry High temperature range Infertile soils Reasons for Distribution
