It is located between the Pacific and the Indian oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. The Australian continent is washed by the Tasman Sea and the Coral Sea. Australia's neighboring countries are Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and New Zealand in the south-east. Australia is the world's biggest island and the smallest continent at the same time. It is almost 25 times larger than the British Isles. And it is nearly as large as the territory of the USA without Alaska and Hawaii. Australia is also the oldest and the driest continent in the world. Australia is the oldest continent, because some rocks are more than 3 million years old. In the centre of the continent there are three deserts: Great Sandy Desert, Great Victoria Desert and Simpson Desert. In fact, Great Sandy and Great Victoria Deserts are among the largest deserts in the world. Its best known rivers are: the Murray and the Darling, The largest lake is Lake Eyre. The seasons in Australia are the other way round, Summer is from December to February (New Year is in the middle of summer), autumn is from March to May, winter is from June to August (the middle of winter is in June) and spring is from September to November. The climate of Australia ranges from tropical in the north, to cool temperate in the south-east where it even often snows in winter.
