Wish you were here ... a postcard that truly offers a measured assessment of the realms of Australia. Does it surprise you? To think that I could visit so many countries, if I didn't have to get out of Australia first!
Wow, this makes one think. I think I once saw a similar picture with the USA nestled inside the confines of Australia quite nicely, not sure though. Surely there must be a postcard of that too.
These postcards alway make me chuckle as I sent one to some Dutch friends after they emailed me when the Sydney olympics were about to happen and they asked if they could stay with me (in Melbourne) and commute every day to Sydney for the games. They were embarrassed afterwards :-)

No wonder it is easier to learn a second (and third) language in Europe than it is here ...
That is amazing when you stop to think about it, Carole.. and now I am green with envy.
cheers :)
LOL! That's really cool! You don't realize how big it is until you see a comparison like this.

Now Australia is big is something we get taught at school but I don't think I've ever seen it displayed as well as this postcard.
Wow, what a size of your country!
Love to see this!
Have a great weekend.

Thats just crazy, i wonder what percentage of total land mass is Aussie outback or scrub?
So funny! Yep, you live in a BIG country! :-) And so very different from all these European countries!
I got carried away and forgot to thank you for coming by my little corner of the world and commenting! I appreciated it!
Stop it, this is schocking and a nightmare for my dream to visiti Australia once. The distances to cover are so big.
Greetings,

Shaun: Great thought of yours wondering what percentage of total land mass is Outback.
Check out this website, it says Outback Australia makes up about 70% of Australia's landmass, inhabited by less tan 3% of our population"

No wonder it's so easy for Europeans to visit other countries in Europe!
.....and to think Australia is really just a big island!
this is quite a fascinating postcard and really shows how huge Australia is. Pretty amazing really!
