I have noticed recently several comments about Australia being in Asia.
Very strange this, I think a lot of people need to go back to school, or is
that where they were misinformed in the first place,
Why don't the same people say that Britain is in Asia ? After all London is
closer to Asia than Darwin is to Singapore.
I won a $5 bet on this once.
Even Djakarta, which is in Oceana not Asia, is about the same distance from
Darwin as London is from Ankara.
North Korea's missiles are closer to Stockholm than Darwin.
I think a lot of the blame can be put on those Mercator's projection world
maps on every school wall.
