As much as I'd love to, he lives in Queensland. Sydney is in New South Wales.

It's all in the same island.

If it's big enough to be a continent, it's not small enough to get from one part to another in a short period of time?

Plane? Train?

We are going by train as I said, but it takes 12 hours just to get from here to Sydney! It'd take almost a full day to get to Brisbane (or a little less because he lives just south of Brisbane).

And I hate going on planes due to travel sickness.

And Australia is totally not a continent. It's part of Oceania, and as someone who is not at all related to NZers or people from that area, I'm offended by your geographical intolerance of other nations.

Don't blame me; I was always raised to believe that Australia was a continent, AND that all continents start and end with the same letter (Oceania doesn't).

So, North America isn't a continent?

What about South America?

Sure, they conform to the coincidental "rule" that continents start and end with the same letter should you remove the qualifiers of North and South, but that implies that it's one continent when it really isn't.

North and South America are considered one continent by a lot of people not from that/those continent(s), since the only real physical separation between them is the (obviously artificial) Panama Canal.

But then again, I often refer to Afroeurasia when talking about physical geography, so whatever.
