How to spot Australia from satellite imagery
The arid interior occupies much of a wide view of Australia. Greener land appears along parts of the east and southwest, with the Great Dividing Range near the eastern coast. The Gulf of Carpentaria cuts into the north; the Great Australian Bight forms a broad southern curve.
Compare the east coast with the interior at the same scale. Follow the change in vegetation rather than treating all of Australia as red desert.
