Calculations on Australia's area are based on the coastline data as explained in ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½'s GEODATA Coast 100K 2004 page. The coastline data is nationally uniform, is sourced primarily from the 1:100 000 scale National Topographic Map Series and is the most authoritative data source currently available to calculate the area of Australia.
