Hahaha but I do remember doing Uni assignments on one (word processor with LED 1 line display very flash) ..... my kids found it at mums house years ago and asked where the monitor was....

Hahaha no ofcourse not but, as an interesting side note, I often used to give my kids the old Melways when we are in a strange part of time and get them to "guide" me home .. reading map is a useful skill. Interting articel I read ages ago.

An interesting titbit that you probably know.

Those Melways, Gregorys in Sydney, all had a deliberate error within their maps. Fake streets and other stuff.

That's how they used to catch people copying their maps.

Does this count as geography? Found this quite interesting (you have to click the link to watch it):



Basically the dialect of Maltese spoken in Australia (Maltralian) not only borrows sounds and loan words from Australian English, but actually preserved many older terms not used in Malta today.

Why are they fixated on doing just one section at a time? Why not start from Melbourne, Brisbane, AND Sydney? Imagine if the Chunnell was constructed from one end only! Everything is so stupidly slow and expensive here.

I haven't watched it yet but I think some on here may have interest in this pipe dream. It just seems impractical in a build and policy way.

It should've been started decades ago and as the technology improved, the money invested then would've paid for itself. Projects cost so much more these days.

Very interested but, as you say, "PIPE DREAM"
