Bloody massive place. Me and misses drove from Brisbane to cairns. First day drove for 6 hrs getting directions off misses. Pull up set up camp get a bit teary at the stunning view then look at the map, gone hardly any distance at all and I loved it

I work with aussies that think nothing of a 4 hour round trip to get a burger from macdonalds, or maccys as they call it here, weirdos.

Hopped on the train from Sydney to Perth a couple years back....took the best part of 3 days (I was aware of this beforehand). Also did a few overnight bus journeys down the east coast, not the most fun I've ever had to be honest.

Isn't it true that 80% of the Oz population live within 12 miles of the sea? Whereas in England, you're never further than 75 miles away from the coast.

I heard a fact that there are more people living in London than the whole of Oz!!

There are more Australians in Shepherds Bush than in the whole of Australia!


What I don't understand, is why we sent our convicts somewhere so pleasant. Why didn't we bust them off to the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, or the Orkneys or somewhere?

We should have kept the Australia as a British resort, as it ought to be.

then it could look like Skegness you mean ? :)

Those pictures are mind blowing! I love the thought of a proper road trip across oz but i'm not sure i could hack 20/30 hours in a car.
