Facebook has just passed a major milestone in Australia. 8 million Australians are now Facebook. When using the advertising system on facebook, you can select a targeted demographic for your ad campaign. If you select ‘Australia’ for the country and leave all the other fields blank, you’ll get a user count for that, this is shown below.

This is quite an amazing statistic for a country of 22,135,317 people, more than 1/3 of the population.

    And that's only the people who put Australia in as a location.

    Still quite a good number but not as much as other countries who are facebook addicts and they make facebook a part of their life.
