Australia is both a continent and a country, the only country to cover an entire continent and the only continent to be covered by one country. It is best known for its vast uninhabitable deserts, the hostile environment in most of the continent, its strange creatures, and its isolation from the rest of the world. In fact, it is so isolated, that it wasn't colonized until the late eighteenth century. It has quite a bit of AH potential, such as earlier/later discovery, colonization by a country other than Britain, etc.
