BBC – h2g2 – Australia
„Australia is a very confusing place, taking up a large amount of the bottom half of the planet. It is recognisable from orbit because of many unusual features, including what at first looks like an enormous bite taken out of its southern edge; a wall of sheer cliffs which plunge deep into the surrounding sea. Geologists assure us that this is simply an accident of geomorphology and plate tectonics, but they still call it the ‚Great Australian Bight‘ proving that not only are they covering up a more frightening theory, but they can’t spell either.“
