From BRIGHT SIDE.

You’d think the north coast of Australia—so close to Asia and global trade routes—would be full of cities, right? But nope. In this video, we’ll dive into why this vast region remains almost untouched. From extreme weather and poor soil to ancient history and tricky infrastructure, the reasons are more fascinating than you’d guess. You’ll learn why cities in Australia boomed in the south and why the north never caught up. If you’re into geography, urban planning, or just love unexpected facts, this one’s for you. Let’s head to the Top End and uncover the mystery!
