Landmarks from any where…
The Eiffel Tower…324 metres high.
The Tower in which Big Ben (the Bell)
resides is 96 metres high.
According too Google the
Geelong Football Club ground
is 5.1 kilometres as the crow flies.
Without the light towers, which are 73 metres high,
the ground would be difficult to spot
even from this vantage point.

Although I don’t have a photo,
this morrning Melbourne was laying claim to
having the tallest Southern hemisphere building.
At 388 metres high, the 108 storey
hotel and apartment building
is located in Melbourne’s
Southbank area.

While London is only 51.50 Degrees North…
…London is a massive 16,893 kilometres
from Melbourne.
I know readers will find this difficult to believe,
but it is true!
There have been times
when I have grumbled about the distance
we are from many parts of the world.
However, this is one of the few times I am pleased
there is distance between Australia
and other parts of the world.
Stay Safe.
