Clouds and sky in Oz
6 Answers
Why does the sky look bigger in Australia than it does in England? It looks like it goes further up and further out (across). Even the clouds look as though they're on a bigger scale.
It's bizarre - I can't figure out why! I considered if it's cos England's usually go building blocking some of the view, but I've tried looking out over flat fields and get the same feeling.
Wot's goin on?!

I think the darkness of the blue in the sky may have something to do with it, and a contrast with white clouds may increase the effect. British skies tend to be hazy and lighter blue - shen you're on the coast you seldom see the horizon, the sky just merges into the sea. The result is you feel you aren't looking very far. This is just a guess, but I've noticed the same effect.
