The majority of Australians live on the east and southeast coastal fringe. Continuous radar coverage exists from north of Cairns, down the coast to west of Adelaide. When coverage is seen on a map, it is often called the J curve. Apart from radar cover around Perth and Darwin, the rest of the country is sparsely populated and sometimes referred to as the GAFA.
