"Australia"
Spanning more than seven million square kilometers, Australia is the
smallest continent in the world. It’s also the only continent located
entirely in the southern hemisphere. However, Australia is the only
country that spans an entire continent which is what makes it the
sixth-largest country in the world. Australia actually has more Kangaroos than people!
