Yeah, why is Australia and NZ so under-populated? It could easily have a Population of at least 60 Million (Aus) 30 (NZ)
Simple fact is, 80% of Australia is desert, and unlike other populated desert locations around the world, like the US Southwest, Iraq, Egypt, Sudan, etc, there is no snowmelt, nor substantial rivers passing through, so nothing to sustain population outside of the coastal areas. I flew from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi back in late 2015, and the track took us over Adelaide, South Australia, Western Australia, finally reaching the coast at Port Hedland. It literally looked like the surface of Mars for a good 3 hours. Good chance a lot of this land was likely never even set foot upon or even seen by humans on the ground. There are literally hundreds of km between dirt tracks at some points, if anyone ever got lost out there, there is no hope. None whatsoever. And being a subtropical desert, the sun and heat are unrelenting. Can't even imagine how hot it gets out there. Truly stunning experience.

Okay but, seriously, I think I will show my location sooner or later, when I'll feel more comfortable. Right now I don't want people to know exactly where I am. There are some people here who wrote their location in a city with less than 10,000 inhabitants. Crazy
You could at least say what country, though if you put a city I very much doubt anyone would be able to find out exactly where you live.. Not that I can think of a reason why anyone would try to find that out anyway... The only person on here whose exact location was found out, was because they lied about what weather/temperatures they got constantly & they kept posting photos of a distant "mountain" (hill) from their bedroom window

I thought so but what about the coasts? Is it ''full up'' or is there more space to build more homes or more dense?

Its just strange how Australia and NZ have such small populations.

I hear you!

Flying from Cairns to Sydney I had the same thing, away from the coast looked like Mars, and then a week later flying from Sydney back to Bangkok the route over Australia looked barren and like it had never been set upon.. pretty amazing! Just red and dusty under blazing sun.. it's kind of a shame there are no good rivers or something that would make a living population sustainable because I bet there's epic heat there

Even bigger I believe. But I think the way they count the metro area for NYC is a bit generous, they include tiny towns as far west as the PA border and also the boonie parts of Westchester. In reality the urbanized area of NYC should only be the city, parts of North Jersey, and the denser places like White Plains/Terrytown. Lima has very little suburban areas even by Latin American standards, it is the second largest city in South America but only the 4th largest metro area

Then you have places like Tokyo, which apparently has 37 million in its metro area

Makes you think, doesn't it?
I could never live in Australia. The climate is heavenly but its just too sparsely populated. New Zealand is even worse, sparsely populated and in the middle of nowhere

Melbourne and Sydney are still large cities; why does it matter if most of the interior is unpopulated?

Exactly, from the things he's written in here, you'd think he'd never even leave a major city if he had the choice.

As for halal, there's a foodtruck here selling: "New York-style Halal food". "Real Middleastern food" is halal and comes from NYC.
That's cause there's mad halal trucks everywhere in NYC and they're mad good. You cant visit NYC without getting halal. Ask for lamb or chicken over rice and extra white sauce, your taste buds will thank you for it

I'd say all of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland would be good enough for him if he gave it a try
