What the Australia map covers
Australia is drawn here as 11 individually colorable regions. By mapped area the largest is Western Australia (about 2.5 million km², 33% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Lord Howe Island at about 11 km². The two differ by more than a thousandfold on the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 55°S to 9°S and spans roughly 46° of longitude. The 11 regions are made up of 51 separate landmass outlines, so much of the detail only appears once you zoom in.

Tips for coloring the Australia map
- With 11 regions you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
- 4 of the regions are under 1% of the largest one's area. Scroll to zoom before clicking them, or type a name into the search box to jump straight to one.
- Western Australia alone covers about 33% of the mapped area, so a shaded choropleth will always be dominated by it. If you are mapping a quantity, import your numbers and switch to the bubble view, which sizes circles by value instead of by land area.
- Switch on a satellite or terrain base layer to see the islands in context — your colored outlines are drawn over the imagery, not replaced by it.
