Australia

It's an interesting exercise to draw maps from memory. My version above, and a friend's below. I prefer his drawing for it's directness and naive simplicity, and sheer stupidity. Click to enlarge.

Holy smoke! Poor Melbourne. Have a go at New Zealand.

Perth looks so much bigger up close.

I like your friend's version because it has a gigantic pudding in the middle.

Of course, the Magic Pudding! And where's the Bunyip?

this takes me back. history 2C, the master would always begin with a chalked representation of western europe upon which he'd draw arrows of advancing barbarian hoards - or possibly the third reich, I'm not sure, I didn't pay much attention after the map. before that time I'd be in the habit of drawing maps showing locations of secret dens, alleyways and other bolt holes.

yours is a good map, I think.
