Yes which is about 2,969,907 SQ MILES

his says something different so im confused but Europe is bigger
<a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent</a>

Europe's landmass is about a tenth more than Australia, but this does include Scandinavia and Eastern block countries such as the Ukraine, which aren't shown on the illustration
As I said, maps that don't show the true scale are an educational waste of time and quite pointless in topic discussions such as this thread
Another example of how this illustration is completely flawed, it states Darwin - Perth as 4396km
Wick - Alicante, which according to the map should be a similar distance is actually around 2200km

4000km is the driving distance its pretty much spot on. As the crow flies 2200km is probably right

Maps like these really annoy me as they don't show anything to scale

France is four times the land mass of the UK
Spain three times
Germany more than double
Italy and Poland are about twice
Even Romania is one and a half times that of the UK

Size of Australia = 2,969,907 sq mi
Size of Europe = 3,930,000 sq mi
You are correct

thats way out mate Australia is 7 692 024 square Klms according to its government, your saying its much less than that

You two are not comparing like with like. All of Australia is shown in the picture but only about half of the 3,930,000 square miles of Europe. Part of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia,Lithuania,Belarus, Ukraine,Moldova,Russia west of the Urals and part of Khazakstan. Then parts of Georgia, and maybe Azerbaijan are included in the 2nd calculation. There's a difference between geographical Europe and political/ socioeconomic Europe.

I am comparing like for like and ignoring that silly map picture

My Mrs (an Aussie) said "yeah, but it's a small ute".
I'm like "fuck off!, look at the size of the fucking thing!".

She was underwhelmed, not for the first time, before one of you say it. ;)
