‘Was going to whinge they left out Tasmania, but then again, being the 1880’s, Tasmania was a totally independent colony, no more a part of ‘Australia’ (as a unified concept) than NZ, Malaysia, or any other British colony in the region. But from the modern perspective, it seems odd. The focus on the trans-continental seems to be the primary reason for the choice of area covered/features shown
Also because no one gives a shit about tasmania
As a Tasmanian I agree’
