Well, Australia is home to 10 deserts. The list includes the Gibson Desert, Great Victoria Desert, Simpson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Strzelecki Desert, Tirari Desert, Sturt Stony Desert, Pedirka Desert, and the Tanami Desert.   Since 20% of the land in Australia is a desert area, it makes many people think that Australia is a desert. However, the fact is that only 3% of Australians live in the desert.
