[00:00:00]Why is the whole of Australia empty?

[00:00:03]On the map of Australia, you can see the red dots. 95% of Australia's total population lives right here.

[00:00:11]And the entire remaining area is empty.

[00:00:13]Australia is 20 times larger than Japan.

[00:00:17]Yet Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is home to 1 and 1/2 times more people than the entire population of Australia.

[00:00:24]The first humans arrived in Australia around 50,000 years ago.

[00:00:29]At that time, sea levels were lower and people could walk from Sunda through New Guinea to reach Australia.

[00:00:35]Later, as the seas rose, Australia became even more isolated. Did you know that Australia has a natural wall that no one can cross?

[00:00:44]Why has it not rained in the interior of Australia for thousands of years?
