That map comparison with USA would look more interesting if Aus (or the US) was flipped upside down as you suggested, then their latitudes aligned. The northern tip of Qld would be in Costa Rica; Brisbane would be about Tampa, Florida; Sydney about Atlanta and Melbourne about Richmond, Virginia. Aus is more tropical than USA.

[@kevinpaine7893]

That bottom bit is the edge of the Nullarbor Plain. The world's largest karstified limestone formation. The terrain is virtually dead flat until you hit the sheer cliffs dropping into the sea. Any rain that falls sinks into the limestone creating caves and leaving no moisture on the surface. Nullarbor means no trees as much of the area only has low saltbush scrub. In summer it can easily get to 50C. Once you leave Norseman in Western Australia it's basically one road for 1,200km until you reach Ceduna in South Australia. We refer to the trip as crossing the paddock.

[@rais1953]

Yes, driving across from west to east you have to fill your water containers at Norseman which has water pumped from Perth over 700 km away. The next drinking water not carted by truck or desalinated is a few hundred kilometres before Adelaide.

[@kevinpaine7893]

@@rais1953 Roadhouses are up to 200km apart where you can get drinking water, but it is expensive. When crossing on bicycle it's important to know how far apart they are and what hours they are open. Although I have had random people stop and offer water every time I've ridden across the paddock.

I think Canada would be considered more similar to Australia because our politicial systems would be a lot more similar. Both were developed from the Westminister system in Britian. We both have a prime minister where USA has their own weird system which has a president that seems to be not directly elected by your people. But Canada is a lot colder so America and California in particular, seem closer to Aussie climate. But I think Australia and USA are more similar in terms of many of people that came from Europe in earlier centuries were from Ireland, Scotland , Wales and England where it seems in Canada there was bigger French mix and why there is some French speaking parts. But I do think Canadians seem more similar in temperament in the small time I was in Vancouver. Americans do come across more hyped up and serious.

If you look at the criteria in that map, demographics & geography are large parts of it, that's why Canada comes in second. If it was based purely on actual culture, the Kiwis would get an even higher score & difference between them & the rest of the pack. Even as it is though, there's 7 points difference between 1st (NZ) & 2nd (Canada) & only 5 points difference between 2nd & 5th (US) so a really huge difference in similarity between us & NZ & all the others

[@michaelfink64]

Hi Ryan, yes, you will find Aboriginal people speaking their own languages. In some of the more remote parts of Central Australia, some people may only speak their Aboriginal language. Governors aren't really politicians. They are heads of the states that are appointed by the state governments - a bit like the Governor General who is appointed by the national Parilament and is the King's (nearly wrote Queen's - force of habit!) representative in Australia. The "cursed map" (not sure why it is called that) shows what the Mediterranean Sea would look like if it were in Australia and gives a sense of the size of the country. You can probably recognise the outlines of Italy, Sicily, Greece and Cyprus. So Spain and Morocco would be in Western Australia and Israel would be too far from Brisbane. The "Great Victoria Sea" and "Great Sandy Sea" refer to the deserts (Great Victoria Desert and Great Sandy Desert) that would become covered by water. The "biggish spike in the dead centre" is Alice Springs. The GDP of WA is not just the GDP of Perth. A lot of the wealth in WA comes from mining (especially iron ore in the Pilbara but also gold in Kalgoorlie). There is also some agricultural production in the southwest. New Caledonia isn't really a country. It is governed by France. They had a referendum on secession recently but voted to remain an external territory of France. Timor Leste is one of the newest countries in the world. It was a Portuguese colony and was invaded by Indonesia in the 1970s, before it gained independence in 2002. The temperature map you were looking at was for the 18th December 2019, which is early summer for us. So yes, it does get colder than that. The north-south highway running down the middle of the country is the Stuart Highway which links Port Augusta and Darwin and is a sealed road, not dirt. Yes, lots of trucks - mostly road trains, which is a prime mover pulling multiple (usually three) trailers. FFDI means forest fire danger index (had to look that one up - not common knowledge). This corresponds to around the time of the bushfires of the summer of 2019-20. This burned 243,000 km^2 (60 million acres) and killed 34 people. "My curiosity was sated"?

The main political leader at the state level is the *premier*, which is loosely equivalent to the prime minister at the federal level. 2.
