Interesting. Texas covers more than 170 million acres. So in Oz there are
(several?) "farms much bigger" than 170 million acres (68 million hectares),
or roughly 1/10 of Australia. Can any of our Australian friends verify this?
Or is Uncle Bill being a little loose with his numbers? I'll buy 4 million
acres--the US has those [wave the flag!!], but 170 million?
