While there are marshlands and swamps its a fairly minuscule amount of the land. Most of the North East is rain forest or sugar cane farms. Most of the central north is desert. Most of the north west is also desert.
For example
The Arafura Swamp is a large inland freshwaterwetland in Arnhem Land, in the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia. It is a near pristine floodplain with an area of 700 square kilometres (270 sq mi) that may expand to 1,300 km2(500 sq mi) by the end of the wet season, making it the largest wooded swamp in the Northern Territory and, possibly, in Australia.
For context the Northern Territory encompasses about 1.35 Million square kilometres.
So there should be more marked in black but really it wouldn’t be very noticeable at this scale.
The dark colour should encompass more of northern side since it is just marshlands and swamps.
Can any Aussie confirm?

I was thinking the same thing, there’s definitely some more inland water-based dangers.
Yes and… no. Australia is the world’s driest continent.
Yes because a stunning amount of people drown in dams every year.
I thought Antarctica was the driest continent?
Sorry, driest inhabited continent
Antarctica has a population between 1000-5000 depending on the season.
People don’t permanently live there though, they come for work and then leave.
