minus-squareOnno (VK6FLAB)@lemmy.radiolinkfedilinkarrow-up6·8 months agoTo blow your mind, Kalgoorlie isn’t even halfway across the width of the state and that’s the short dimension. If it was an independent country, which was at one point seriously considered, it would be the 10th largest country in the world. It’s three and a half times bigger than Texas.

The Texas mind cannot comprehend this.
