@ajsadauskas @australia When I worked in The Rocks in Sydney an American tourist asked what the “big birds” in the evening were, he nearly fainted when I told him they were bats…

Anyway we got chatting and he said we was going to drive up the east coast to Cairns. Great idea I said, give yourself a week or two to visit all the interesting stuff.

He blanched and said he expected to do it in three days…

I blame the Mercator projection…
