    It is interesting though. Thanks Kevin301.

    The hardest thing is getting people to realize how big Australia. I was with some visitors from the Philippines showing them some livestock, when I needed some information. I said I'd go inside and look it up on the internet. There was shocked silence, and one lady said "You have internet here in the Outback!" At the time the farm I was on near Gulgong NSW was surrounded by 25 acre blocks and there were houses in sight everywhere. I tried to assure them this was NOT the outback, but I don't think they believed me. My mind boggled at what they would think if I took them to the real outback

    Hahaha I know what you mean.

    Had a Malaysian classmate during my uni days who was grumbling about the speed of the mail delivery service despite Australia "being smaller than Malaysia". I almost fell off my chair

    To those who have lived in the city all or most of their lives (such as myself), places like Gulgong and Mudgee might seem like the Aussie outback

    If you live in Sydney area (north, east, inner west suburbs), any where beyond Parramatta is considered "far."
    hahah true.
    But essentially we're comparing a COUNTRY against a CITY
