    Mainland Australia
    Mainland Australia is the main landmass of the Australian
    continent excluding Tasmania and other offshore islands. The land
    mass also constitutes the mainland of the territory governed by the
    Commonwealth of Australia, and the term, along with continental
    Australia, can be used in a geographic sense to exclude
    surrounding continental islands and external territories (such as the
    Australian Antarctic Territory). Generally, the term is applied to the
    states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia,
    and South Australia, as well as the Northern Territory, Australian
    Capital Territory, and Jervis Bay Territory.
    Mainland Australia.
    The term is typically used when referring to the relationship between
    Tasmania and the other Australian states,[1][2] in that people not
    from Tasmania are referred to as mainlanders.[3] Tasmania has been omitted on a number of occasions
    from maps of Australia, reinforcing the divide between Tasmania and the mainland. The 1982
    Commonwealth Games in Brisbane left Tasmania off the map of Australia during the opening ceremony,
    as did the designs of the Australian Swim Team uniform for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[3]

    The land mass covers 7,595,342  km2 (2,932,578  sq  mi), about 98.7% of the area of the country of
    Australia and covering 1.5% of the Earth's surface.[4] Its population is about 24.5 million, 98% of
    Australia's population.
