True but Australia is young. One day hundreads of millions will be living here.
If we had cities dense like NYC or Paris, Australia would also be a global superpower with 200M or more and much more cities. It would be just like America but isolated and more beer.

Isn't Melbourne and Sydney fairly dense though? Five million is a big city.
I'd like to see more cities in Australia to add greater variety and options like the US

Yep, Sydney, Melbourne and even Brisbane offer plenty of options for inner city living. Most people, though, choose to live in the suburbs or even semi-rural residential areas.
As for a the number of cities, more doesn’t necessarily translate to greater variety. They each need something genuinely unique to set them apart.
Australian life is so suburban is disgusting, i wish we were a more actual "urban" country like France or England. Not like America.
I fully endorse that but most wouldn't. Even with Australia's rush to infill and increase density it doesn't seem to be a great success.
I suspect one would need to move to countries with such a preferred setting, than living in hope Australia will change to actually become more like those places.

Rather sparse and sprawling compared to Euro levels. Both better than Perth obviously, which is among the most sprawling and auto dependent cities in the world.
The urbanized centres of Europe do bring lots of life but not much different than you will get In Sydney or Melbourne anyway. Australia like the US has so much more land that people in suburbia get to enjoy living with the amenities of a big city while also able to have a big house and garden. You usually have to compromise this if you wish to live in a big city In Europe unless your a millionaire
Actually quite different. Even the main centres are small in comparison to major European centres like London, Paris, Lisbon and so on.
Any suburban locality regardless of state. That is where most the population live and spend their lives. That is typical Australia.
Yes most Aussies live in suburbia, and not some outback post.
In saying that, and obviously I am biased, but NSW has a great spread of cultures and diversity , from Sydney to the “Back of Bourke “.

That won't happen for over a hundred years' time. Not even get 100 million. Unlikely 50 million. It more likely be like: 38,089,401. Worldwide population growth rate is declining in most places. China population is expected to drop by half then, USA population will be unlikely to reach 400 million people then either.https://www.populationpyramid.net/po...-country/2100/
Only places with big growth are Africa and the Indian subcontinent then.

Your projections are quite conservative for 100 years.
