Exactly? no
Only San Diego, or the south of California have Australian land as antipodes. If one assume Omaha (41.24N 96.04W) as the USA center, the opposite place (antipodal is 41.24S & 96.04E) falls in the Indian Ocean, 1860 km southwest to Australia.

No, i do no longer think of so; no longer yet a minimum of. I do worry that it would take place interior the destiny nevertheless if some attitudes do no longer exchange. an extremely great style of youngsters seem to think of that the U. S. is the centre of the universe and all issues stunning, and don't seem to rejoice with the surprising and secure way of existence we've right here. They watch in user-friendly terms American television, see in user-friendly terms American video clips and worship American celebrities. they seem to do those issues to the exclusion of engaging in Australian existence in any however the main peripheral techniques. I hate to work out how many American executives are delivered in to run our great companies and that they in many situations look chosen over very able and nicely qualified Australians. This could supply up if we are to stem the tide of creeping Americanisation. We could have Australians with Australian ideals working the teach. luckily, i think of that our experience of national identity is turning out to be greater suitable standard and the youngsters who're proud to be Australian are our brightest and best. it is they who will save our national identity and be triumphant over the shallow American wannabes. Apologies for shifting slightly OT, yet i've got faith that an Australian Republic would concentration everyone on Australia and what it skill to be Australian and which could in user-friendly terms be reliable for our destiny as an self sufficient u . s . a . quite than an American satellite tv for pc.
