Why Australia largest cities are all located along the coastal plains?
Answers
Throughout world history, when territories are originally settled and/or developed, there has been a natural attraction for humans to waterways. Remember that back in the day when these settlements first came into being there were no cars or planes.

All of the nation's major cities are found on the various coasts, and these cities and their inhabitants are there for many of the same reasons as listed above. Inland towns and communities are remote, and most of the island's population live along the coast. Historically, most early towns and cities originated on the coast or on rivers due to the easy access by ship. Even in the era of the plane and automobile, shipping is an important form of economic transportation, another major reason for Australia's large coastal populations.
