Australia is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Howie Day. It was first released on November 1, 2000, independently via Daze Records. It would be re-issued in 2002 by Epic Records. It was produced by Day and Mike Denneen and was written entirely by Day. The album, when re-issued by Epic, spawned him his first hit in his debut single "Ghost", which became his first top ten on the US Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart at number nine. Australia peaked at number 18 on the Heatseekers Albums.
The song "She Says" would later be re-recorded for Day's preceding studio album Stop All the World Now (2003), in which it would become a single.
Track 11 was removed from the 2002 Epic re-release.
