Question

Give geographical reasons:

What factors are responsible for non-development of industries in Central Australia?

Answer 1

The Great Australian Desert covers the central part of Australia. Since it is a desert, physical factors like climate, water, raw materials, labour and transport facilities are not suitable for the development of industries. Because of these adverse physical conditions, the density of the population is extremely low, and therefore there are limited markets. Also, due to these unfavourable economic factors, industries are not developed in central Australia.
