I just roughly calculated using google map that Australia northern most part is only 1250 km away from the equator. It was WAY more to the south than that from what I remember. |

I don't think you're crazy. I actually have the same memory, but as I've looked at old atlases which were more detailed, you could see more of the islands stretching from Southeast Asia. The gloves and textbook maps we had were far less detailed. More vague shapes and almost entirely out of scale, using the enlarged Northern Hemisphere |

 User ID: 76018624  Australia08/10/2022 09:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | MANY AMERICANS LOST WHEN IT COMES TO GEOGRAPHY By Barbara Vobejda July 28, 1988 Americans aged 18 to 24 ranked last in an international comparison of geographic knowledge, and American adults of all ages scored among the bottom third, according to a study released yesterday by the National Geographic Society. The nine-nation study found that 75 percent of Americans surveyed were unable to locate the Persian Gulf on a map and fewer than half could identify the United Kingdom, France, South Africa or Japan. The survey also found that one out of seven -- a figure that would project to 24 million American adults -- could not identify the United States on a world map and half could not identify Nicaragua as the country in which the Sandinistas and contras are fighting.
