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.eR

Here are the figures:
Texas 267,277 square miles
Alaska 615,230 square miles
Canada 3,849,676 sqm (or 9,970,610 sq kms)
Australia 2,966,133 sqm (or 7,682,292 sq kms)*)
USA incl. Alaska + Hawaii 3,618,770 sqm (or 9,372,571 sq kms)
[I bloody lost the figure for mainland US, and Google is no use at all at the moment - sorry]
*) not bad for size to share with only 20 million inhabitans (not counting the roos and snakes) compared to ~250 million in the US...Spam me with design ideas for my signature - LOL!Comment

So how does central Europe compare?
All of Europe is 3,618,770 sqmiles or 9,372,571 sq kilometers (roughly the size of Canada) - Germany alone is 356,958 sq kilometres = Central Europe would be roughly equal to AUS.Spam me with design ideas for my signature - LOL!Comment

SEX RATIO
In June 2002, the sex ratio (number of males per 100 females) for Western Australia was 100.1, with 964,300 males and 963,000 females. This compares with a sex ratio of 98.4 at the national level. Only the Northern Territory, with 109.9, had a higher sex ratio.
Males outnumbered females in all statistical divisions except Perth where there were 714,500 females and 699,200 males. The sex ratio ranged from 97.9 in Perth to 121.2 in the Pilbara. Within the Perth Statistical Division, the statistical local area of Peppermint Grove had the lowest sex ratio (72.6) and Perth - Inner had the highest (183.9). Outside the Perth Statistical Division, Wiluna had the highest sex ratio (223.4) and Albany - Central the lowest (91.9).
For people in the 15-64 "working age" group, the highest ratio of males to females was in statistical local areas dominated by the mining and pastoral industries, such as Yalgoo, Wiluna and Sandstone (all above 210). The lowest ratios for this age group occurred in Perth, in the established residential areas of Peppermint Grove (70.5) and Mosman Park (91.4), and in the south of the state in Albany - Central (93.7).
