Comparison Maps

I thought it would be a good idea to put a map of australia here and for the sake of all my overseas relatives and friends, a comparison, so they can get a feeling of the size of this island.

I often get surprised looks of disbelief when I am travelling overseas and I say that Australia is bigger than Western Europe or that it is about the same size of USA. Well, here you can see some overlays that prove it.

Here is Australia compared to Europe

Here it is, now tell me it's not the same size.
