According to the Australian Government's Geoscience website, the mainland area of Australia is 7 659 861 sq km, and the total land area (including 32 163 sq km for the islands) of Australia is 7 692 024 sq km. This equates to about 2 969 907 sq miles.

If you add the marine area of Australia (410 977 sq km), the total surface area of the continent, including its immediate islands and their waters, is 8 103 001 sq km. This figure excludes the seven offshore territories of Australia.

Australia is the smallest continent, but not the largest island. In area, it is the 6th largest country in the world.

Regarding the population: As of 2014, the population of Australia is over 23 million.
