I really envy you Australians for having such a huge, wild country with so much spectacular scenery and wildlife (even if most of it is venomous). I can't travel thousands of km without ending up in another country (or at least in the sea!). I have just worked out that Queensland is 83x larger than Wales and 7x larger than the entire UK. Even Tasmania is 3x larger than Wales!
