    How about - How much of this site can you actually visit? It is huge. Still have not got around to parts of it yet!

    Yes. Yes. You can go down all the roads. But that misses the point. For instance, in Aboriginal reserves you can't go more than 50 metres off the road. Which means that most of the country you can't actually go to. You can drive past it but you can't actually visit the places themselves.

    That is my question. How much can we actually visit? Has a large part of Australia been taken away from the population of Australia while we haven't been looking? Can we visit all the same places our fathers were able to visit in the 50s and 60s and 70s, or has much of it been closed off to us? I don't really know, but I'd like to find out.

    You know Dobbo, if you don't feed the kids, after a little while you won't have to feed the kids. Similarly if you don't pay the bills you soon won't have a place to pay bills on. You would then be free to explore this great continent.

    I'd investigate all the most out-of-the-way places first, because you'll surely have the authorities and debt collectors wanting to see the continent with you, or at least after you!

    It is all a matter of personal choice: whether you travel; or do other things like having kids and a place to live.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    What's that little bit at the bottom without any red lines on it? Is that part of Australia, can you still see it?
