I have have seen a few posts saying that Australia does not exist and everyone who claims to be from Australia is an actor. How is this possible as i have lived in Australia for 40 years and am definitely not an actor. This proves the flat earth that the flat earth theory is wrong as it would impossible for Australia to exist if the earth was flat.

That's exactly what an actor would say.

You've probably never been to Australia so how can you say with absolutely certainty that we are all actors

A place would have to first exist before I could visit it.

But you haven't been there so you don't know that it does not exist

In 2004, Hewlett Packard sent me to Taipei, Hong Kong, and Sydney to do a new product 3 day seminar. Had to be 3 stops, because Taiwan vs Taipei obvious reasons and the trip to Australia is surprisingly long, impractical for 30 people to travel. Because we couldn't span a weekend (travel costs for attendees over weekend), I had to be in each place for a week. HP had a policy that you could turn your business class ticket in for two economy, so I paid for tickets for my kids and they stayed in the room the company provided. 7 days in Hong Kong and 10 days in Sydney. Did the outback, blue mountains, saw a concert in the famous opera hall, went to the top of Sydney harbor bridge, saw a spider at least a foot across (not in a zoo, just in some bush), petted a kangaroo, ate kangaroo, and it was spectacular.

The geology, flora and fauna, are very different, if you are not in Australia, you are in some weird place. They call it Oz with good reason. The people are great. Easy going, warm, they volunteer, good co-workers. They are more like Californians than some Americans, so easy for me. I worked with people from the Australian division of HP for 2 decades. I only went there once.

When I came back, I flew Qantas from Sydney to LA. On the FE map, that distance is longer than any known airliner range. On RE, the speed of airliner matches the time matches the distance.

Any Aussies reading this, good on you and your country. Bob's your uncle!

My twin has lived in Sydney since the mid 80s. We FaceTime pretty regularly. He pops back every few years with his wife, sometimes with his daughter and son-in-law too, who have twin boys. Lovely family. True friendly Aussies.

I worked for the NHS for 32 years. I’ve worked with tons of Aussies and Kiwis. I have lots of colleagues who have worked over there.

My old Dad, now 88, has been over there 15 times now. None of these people are liars or actors. Anyone who thinks they are must have something wrong with them. This idea is just plain nuts. What is wrong with people?

The most amazing thing to me is there unawareness of their impact on others. I find it very hard to take when they essentially say my youth and my family was fake and they were all stupid or liars.

They are calling all REs stupid or liars. Everybody who believed their science teacher when they explained day/night, seasons, 24 sun at pole, etc.
