Australia is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. It is the largest country in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Human habitation of the Australian continent is estimated to have begun around 65,000 to 70,000 years ago, possibly with the migration of people by land bridges and short sea-crossings from what is now Southeast Asia. Australia, officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is a federation of six states, together with ten federal territories. The Australian mainland consists of five of the six federated states and three of the federal territories.
