About the size of the continental US. It's obviously nowhere near being close to the size of Canada. I can't imagine that it is about the same size as a state as they are relatively small.

I think the reason people seem to think it's so small is because of map projections making it look so much smaller, but that's just a distortion from taking a 3D globe and projecting it onto a 2D surface. Northern Canada "shrinks" as well on maps of this kind so it would stand to reason Australia would do the same.
