I keep hearing that Australia’s population is so low due to uninhibitle land. Yet they have a very generous immigration attitude and there’s no child limit that I’m aware of. How can/does geography make any difference?

Side note: It would be very hard to build cities like Sydey and Melbourne in the desert. But it’s not uninhabited!

Aboriginal people have lived across Australia for 60,000 years — [including the desert](https://theconversation.com/aboriginal-people-lived-in-australias-desert-interior-50-000-years-ago-earlier-than-first-thought-102111). They are able to do this through intense study of geography, climate, ecology, plants, and animals. This knowledge is part of the Aboriginal connection to land.
