Betcha didn't know that Perth is the most isolated city in the world. :fyi:

I never thought I would see the day when an American would know somthing more than me about my own country, the last time I spoke to an American and told him I was from Australia he asked me in which state was it located (American state). :lol:

I learned that fact while doing my searching about Australia. I have a weird fascination with your country. Maybe someday I'll know why.
I bet a lot of non Americans probably know a lot of facts about America that I don't know. I think I take some things for granted, living here. I used to live 15 minutes from Plymouth Rock, and when I tell people in Florida that I lived there, they seem amazed. I guess since I lived there, I really didn't understand the fascination, that people from all over the world have in coming to see a rock.

The Earth is indeed a wonderful planet... The only question that remains is, whether life spontaneously arised only here, or does it spontaneously arise on other planets as well. Hmmm... y:-? ;)

Compared to the size of our galaxy, that's actually quite close enough. A few dozens of thousand miles more or less... :lol:
