Australia is suggested as another possible location for an allied ELF submarine transmitter because of its large land area. Its size is compared with the contiguous United States, and the discussion corrects the impression that Australia and China are close neighbours: they are in different hemispheres and separated by thousands of miles. Space for an installation does not establish that Australia would agree to host it. There is, however, an existing record of hosting shared intelligence facilities, with Pine Gap given as a named example. Five Eyes and other arrangements have placed joint installations in Australia over several decades. That experience makes allied infrastructure familiar, while permission and technical suitability for a new ELF transmitter remain separate questions.

Australia as a possible ELF transmitter host
Australia's land area and experience with shared intelligence facilities make it a candidate for discussion, while permission and technical suitability remain unresolved.
