Shape of Australia on the flat earth map
Hi,

first post and new to FE so please go easy on me!

Was discussing FE proofs with a friend today and he asked about the distorted shape of Australia when placed on a FE map. We live in Aus and agreed it would become obvious to people through traveling that it was the wrong shape. Am I missing something? Can anyone point me in the right direction for an answer to that.? Cheers..
