Claim it Change
If every person in the world was given 1/4 of an acre of land.......
The whole of the worlds population would fit into Australia.......
With the rest of the worlds land left over!!!!!!!!!!!
Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency. Talk about Global Goverment? 1984 Orwell, oucha!

Surprising, but right
Although there would be a slight food and water problem for the vast majority...

Re: Claim it Change
Something I heard a long time ago and I can't be bothered to check whether it's right or not.
Apparently the whole of the worlds population could stand on the Isle of Wight at the same time.

Re: Claim it Change
"The Isle of Wight is 380 km squared. A kilometer is 1000 m X 1000 m or a million square meters. so the area would be 380 million square meters. The Earth's population is about 6,500 million people. You would need 17.1 people on each square meter to fit the world's population on the island.
So it might have been true in 1965 or so, but probably not now."

As long as I get the 1/4 acre with a nice bit of surf & beach.
That is a crazy stat though, weird to think of it like that!

But if you like inland a little bit....
That's about $750 per quarter acre inland, or $750,000 per quarter acre on the water front.
And everyone wants the water front
only 25 mins to Toowoomba CBD
100 acres Plus in each block
Starting at $300,000 including power and water
