Holiday Ayo - With five major islands and thousands of smaller islands situated between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world!

Officially, there are over 17,500 islands that comprise Indonesia, but only 6000 of those islands are inhabited.

The island of Java is home to over half of the population but is the size of New York State.

There are over ten million people living in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, located on the island of Java too. Sumatra, Kalimantan (Borneo) and Sulawesi are also major islands in Indonesia.

Indonesia spans over 5000kms from east to west and just like Australia, the country has three different time zones.

The equator also runs across Indonesia, dividing half of the country in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere.
