Australia, as we know, is both continent and country situated near southern pole. While Canberra is the capital city of Australia, Sydney and Melbourne are the two most popular cities. Other popular cities includes Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. When it comes to placing the data centers in Australia, Sydney has been the most obvious location of preference. Though Australia is stretched over large area of around 7.69 million square kilometers, it is thinly populated for the reason that it has large unusable land masses in most part of the central Australia. Which means, only lands on edges of Australia are habitable. Interestingly, it still have indigenous group of aboriginals inhabiting this island nation. Since it had once been a British Colony, despite gaining independence, Australia still regard Queen of England as their ceremonial head.
