Comparison Map UK Qld
 

Hi all reading

I have a elderly mum who keeps worrying about me during the natural disasters such as floods etc. The latest text I received was that she hoped that I was ok after the storm (cyclone) I live on the Gold Coast.

I would like to find a map showing the size of UK compared to the size of Queensland, so that she can get an idea of the scale of the place to stop her from worrying.

Can anyone help?

Thanks - Thats a little bit better than the one I found. Last night on the news they had one that showed the UK sitting within Queensland - however cant find that one anywhere.

Don't show her that one . . . it'll put the shits up her something terrible!

"Yes Mildred . . . they've got storms bigger than England . . . and sharks that'll have your arm off and other fish that sting and jellyfish sooooooooo small you can't even see them but they'll knock you down stone dead in a second . . . and snakes . . . well, don't even get me started on the snakes <<<shudders>>> . . ."

We don't hear enough about the drop bears these days. Time was when you couldn't mention Australia on BE for someone telling you to beware of them. :lol:
