Literal AND sensitive regarding size. :-)

I’m talking creativity, not land mass. Note to self: Australians are quite literal.

Australia is in fact 7,692,024 kmÂ² whereas the entire UK is only 242,900 kmÂ². We are the largest country without a land-border to neighbours, the largest country in Oceania and the largest country wholly in the Southern Hemisphere.

I don’t think Bobby was talking about the size of the islands, but about the amount of talented people that live on them.

That said, that piece of art looks amazing!

I’d like to echo Nick’s comment – Australia is roughly the size of the contiguous US (and the 6th largest country in the world). A lot fewer people though – just 21 million. I guess Nick’s right about our sensitivity regarding size. :-)

Very nice. Beautiful in fact.

Australia is a really big island, however. We’re very sensitive about our “largest island” status.
