I don't know if "ĉu estas Aŭstralio kontinento" is correct or not, but thinking this way helped Duolingo's preffered word order make more sense to me:
If you think of "ĉu" as "is the following correct?", then the phrase "ĉu: Aŭstralio estas kontinento?" with an imaginary colon would be "is this correct: Australia is a continent".
That might not be very helpful, but it worked for me.

Can anyone tell me why 'Cxu Auxstralio kontinentas?' does not work. Thank you in advance.
Is it Aŭstral-io or Aŭstrali-o?
It's Aŭstrali-o: https://vortaro.net/#A%C5%ADstralio_kd
(Notice that the "8" for "this word was added in the 8th official addition to the universal dictionary" is after the "i" and before the "o".)
