Ok we have some hills but our highest mountain(?) is 2228 metres. Mention that if you are in Nepal or the Andes and they laugh at you. Comparitively speaking men, Australia is flat.

Default Flat Australia

If you leave from my place, just out of Perth in WA, after about 1200km there is a hill near Eucla. About 1800kms after that there is a pass that goes thru some hills the other side of Port Augusta. Then lots of flat bits around Broken Hill unless you go south into Victoria which owns most of the hills in Australia and also the worst roads.
I went to Victoria once and didn't like it...too hilly.

Regards,
Wayne.

When we traveled across the Nullarbor on the Indian Pacific railway, the advertising said that there was a 400 mile long straight. What they didn't say was that after the slight kink we did another 250 miles.
The 1 type of vegetation, (about 1 foot high) stayed the same all the way. There were virtually no trees, no people, and no hills (and no drinkable water) Wayne this is one big back yard, you have.
