EDIT: It seems that these pines are in NSW, which is in the southeast of Australia, not central Australia. My point about the size of the place stands however.
- valtism 7y agoSpeaking of central Australia, there are plenty of untouched aboriginal caves and shelters all across the desert in WA
- derrida 7y agoYeah, they are just outside Sydney. The thing I loved the most about living here was the wild, it grieves me that we have lost over a billion animals, not counting insects, fish and birds.
- ben7799 7y agoNeither here nor there really but that page is total fail as it seems to be using the Mercator projection which is terrible for comparing sizes! Drag Greenland down to the equator and watch it shrink, it's really odd!
- Infernal 7y agoYeah that’s the point of it, if you grab a country near the equator and drag to the poles it will balloon. It’s about showing relative sizes of countries by placing them at the same point on the projection than it is about creating a projection with accurate absolute sizes.
