Cool map I found about just how empty (of people) Australia is. More details in ALT text.
Map created by University of Adelaide and ABS 
1 km grid over Australia with each area scored into categories 
The dotted lines are state/territory borders.

Clockwise the Major Cities are: Brisbane (QLD), Sydney (NSW), Canberra (technically it’s own territory like DC, but in NSW), Melbourne &, much smaller, Geelong (VIC), Adelaide (SA), Perth (WA)

Tasmania (the island at the bottom) has cities, just not enough people live there to make them “Major”
Green blob at the top is Darwin (NT) it’s the AUS military and resorts. 
Green blob in the middle is Alice Springs (NT) the only people there are Indigenous Australians, tourists, and Americans working in Pine Gap.
