Americans are known for scientific prowess but not their knowledge of geography! A colleague recently told me that he now begins all his talks overseas with a map of Australia and shows where Brisbane is. On my last trip to Europe I also did this. However, it took me a while to find the pictures I really wanted, those which I had seen on postcards. I eventually found them and will include one in all my future talks overseas.
They really put the size of Australia in perspective.
