Czech term

o nichž se ani nezdá

Czech to English Marketing Science (general)
Need some help with this strange wording. Could some help me explain what they are trying to say here.

I v Austrálii je nízká hustota osídlení a takové vzdálenosti mezi osídlenými místy, o nichž se obyvateli středoevropské země, v níž je vlastně všude blízko, ani nezdá.

Even in Australia, there is a low density of settlements, and such distances between populated places o nichž se obyvateli středoevropské země, v níž je vlastně všude blízko, ani nezdá.

Even in Australia ...

the density of population is so low and the distances between populated places are such that an inhabitant of a country in Central Europe, where everything is actually close, cannot even imagine it.

agree Valerie Mason : Agree with this one, although would leave out 'even' and would also say 'is so close' rather than translating 'vlastne' literally)

Australia, too, is sparsely populated, with distances between settlements so large that they are hard to imagine to an inhabitant of a Central European country, where everything is nearby.

You did not give me enough context to adjust my style accordingly but at least you understand what they are trying to say here. Hope it helps.
