See the map I posted yesterday, then look at this one:



I have no idea which states and provinces I would have driven through if I'd done the trip in North America. Maybe someone can compile a list for me. Over here I only drove through 4 states.

And MAMBA. A lot of MAMBA.

Lots and lots.

This is to scale? I had no idea Australia was so big.. thanks for posting this!

An acquaintance of mine worked for a multinational, and would give the "introductory presentation" to her American colleagues about doing business in or with Australia. The first thing she'd do each time was show that map. And it would inevitably get that reaction. :)

And there's only 20 million of us 8)

Lets see... that would put Darwin somewhere near Regina Sask.

Very Neat! :)

Here's roughly what I did this past summer/fall, picking Scott up on the eastern seaboard in Wash, DC, then up to New Jersey (south a bit from New York city):



Start on the west in Las Vegas with the yellow and head east, I changed the color to green in Misissippi. The parts from where the green crosses the yellow are actually the same road, I split the out bound and inbound legs for clarity sake.

CYa!

course, there's still lots MAMBA on that sort of trip, specially between Port Pirie and Kalgoolie.

Off the top of my head: You started somewhere in Georgia, drove west through Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas; took a north through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Manitoba, Canada and arrived at destination deep into Saskatchewan, Canada. On the trip back, you went back south through Manitoba, and North Dakota then hung a south-east through Minnesota and Wisconsin; took a ferry across Lake Michigan then continued south-east to Michigan. Cut a south through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and back to Georgia.

A total of 16 US States, 2 Canadian Provinces, 1 Major Body of Water, and 2 Countries. Not bad for a 3 day trip.

You missed one, he would have gone through my home state of Ohio as well :) Might have missed Indiana altogether but we'll count it anyway. Ohio is right south of Lake Erie, so he definately passed through it as I look at this map.

No wait nevermind, I looked at the wrong red line, he would have missed Ohio.

Thanks. wow, you have a lot of little states over there. 8)

Actually it was 6 days on the road; 3 there and 3 back.

OZ has cattle stations larger than some of our States (like Mighty (tiny) Rhode Island for example) :)

Just for scaling purposes, RI, the state, has a total of 16 hospitals. I think we indeed have at least 3 cities with that many, if not more. ;)

The further east you go, the smaller they tend to be. In some areas, it is very normal for people to live in one state and work in another--and relax in yet another.
