Just a bit of trivia here as I notice a student in the US was failed because she referred to Australia as a country.
My Google search is a bit confusing. Continents like Asia and Europe are easy, as there are many countries within the continent, but Australia is a bit different. Is it a continent and a country (as we do seem to fit the definition of a country)? I seem to recall during my school days, being taught Australia is both the largest Island in the world and the smallest continent and further, it being the only place to be both continent and island.
So for you academic travellers out there ... what are we?
