Australia
The first thing to remember about Australia when you are planning a trip there is its size. It is BIG. Only Russia, Canada, China, the USA and Brazil are larger. This single nation has three separate time zones: Sydney in the south east is two hours ahead of Perth in the west. So it is not possible to just go and “see Australia”. Flying from one side to the other is 2,000 miles and takes over three and a half hours; flying from Melbourne in the far south to Darwin in the tropical north will also take about three and a half hours. #australia #map #trip
