I’m here to stir up some noise here in the Interaction Zone for anyone interested in the OEGlobal 2024 conference, whether you are able to travel to be there in Brisbane or if you are following from afar. Here we recycle an activity from the 2022 conference.
Share your distance! This could be the map distance you might be traveling to be in Brisbane for the conference or how close/far from Brisbane you are participating via the AND Conference.
Use a tool like Distance From/To, enter your city/country in one box and Brisbane, Australia in the other this number, to get the map distance to share in a reply below (miles, kilometers, heck nautical miles, or convert to meters, yards, cubits you choose), and ideally a screenshot of your results.
For me, from home in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Canada, I am 13106 km, 8144 miles from Brisbane. A since I put in in there, that is 13,106,000 meters (I can do that in my head), 14332896 yards, and wow, 28,319,662 cubits (with help converting) away. Not that I will get a direct flight, but…
How about you? How far away are you from Brisbane? Calculate and share.
Hi Alan - looking forward to seeing you again! Long time indeed. Toowoomba is a beautiful place, the ‘Garden City’. I have been here for 4 years and am nurturing a cottage garden with lots of roses.
Wow, this figure of speech is actually based in reality! (source):
Due to their unique flight mode (further reading about this can be found here) flight recordings have shown that albatrosses are indeed capable of flying up to 10,000 miles in a single journey and circumnavigate the earth in 46 days (here).
