Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is Australia. Did you know:

• Australia is the smallest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent in the World. It is the only country which is also a whole continent.
• Arguably the largest state in the world, Western Australia covers one-third of the Australian continent. It spans over 2.5 million square kilometers
• Uluru (Ayres Rock) is the largest rock in the world. 3.6km long and 2.4km wide, it rises out of the middle of the country to a height of 348 metres.
• Strangeray Springs cattle station in South Australia is the largest ranch in the world. Its area measures 30,029 km square - only slightly smaller than the European country of Belgium.
• The largest lake in Australia is Lake Eyre, measuring 8,885 km square. However, it has only been filled with water 3 times in the past 100 years (it is a salt lake the rest of the time).
