Is Australia directly underneath us on the opposite side of the world?

If it is which part of oz is directly underneath London?

[factor-fiction]

Don't think so

[Oniongirl]

Which country is directly underneath us or is it water? If so what are the exact coordinates?

[factor-fiction]

South of New Zealand I recall for London but I suppose it depends where you are

If i wanted to be as far as i could from where i am which exact place would i need to be?

What an interesting question and link rocky - it says only 4% of land would hit land rather than water at its opposite point on the globe.

Vertically beneath the Canary Islands is Australia

Good links - I had better stop digging because I can't swim and there is a huge ocean at the other side of my tunnel.

[Prudie]

you sure about that SirP, The Canary Islands are far too South to end up in Australia?

[sir.prize]

Prudie - you are right. If you place Canary Islands on the + in Map A you will see that the opposite point on Map B is off the east coast of Australia.

Australia's a huge place; it's like saying "if I dug down from Europe where would I come out?" But London will bring you out on the date line somewhere SE of New Zealand.

Jno yes we know as if you click RockyRacoons link, it will show you exactly where the opposite side is.
