AUSTRALIA DOESN ’ T EXIST
This last ‘ factoid ’ I want to share with you is one I ’ ve only heard about in recent weeks and it is as outrageously bizarre as they come .
You may have heard of ‘ flat earthers ’, conspiracy theorists who vehemently believe Earth is not a sphere but a giant disk floating in space . If you haven ’ t , I highly recommend you check out their videos on YouTube , especially if you need a little cheering up because their delusions are frighteningly hilarious . As whacked out as they may be , there are others who make flat earthers appear sane by comparison .
My fellow Australians , believe me when I tell you there is a group of people who are convinced Australia , the country we know , love and live in , is a hoax . That ’ s right . According to these people , Australia doesn ’ t exist and is instead a cover story created by the British government to hide the deaths at sea of hundreds of convicts . What ’ s more , the theory suggests the illusion is perpetuated and administered today by the New Zealand government .
Lake Hart is a popular rest stop on the Stuart Highway . It is also inside the Woomera Prohibited Area .
