What's the difference between these two sentences.
1) I lived in Australia for 3 years when I was a child.
2) I was living in Australia for 3 years when I was a child.
thank you.
2) I was living in Australia for 3 years when I was a child.
thank you.

The first sentence (in the past simple form) is right. The past continuous should be used if you are talking about something that happened while you were living in Australia. For example, I was living in Australia when I got my first chance to act in films.
