For some unknown reason, recently the most popular Google searches leading to our site have been “Australia Map” and “Australian Flag” and variations thereof (barely – just barely – beating out “goatse” and “sarah plain naked,” it must be said.)
The “Australia Map” searches almost always lead to a post on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s keen observation on the ABC’s 7:30 Report back in 2008 that “Australia is not an island”:
"Australia is not an island" - K. Rudd, 2008
However, our own Wizard of Woz has unearthed an even more accurate map of Australia which may give the rather pedestrian version above a run for its money in the page-impressions stakes:

Hell no. It’s heaven on a stick to be confined to a kennel on the very frontier of swine-flu-world. Weren’t for the sexy Vets, I’d make a break for it 😉

That second ad would probably make Americansmore likely to visi Oz than thos gloomy slit-your-wrists-now-and-get-it-over-with ads there showing from that flop movie Australia.
Adventure and danger is more fun the shit they show in those ads.
Bragging rights rule OK.

I think it was Dudley Moore (Tony Hancock???…some British comedian, any way) who said that when he visited Australia, he continuously jumped up and down. This meant that 50% of the time he was safe from being bitten by anything dangerous.
