The ironic thing is a lot of those refugees who made it to Australia ended up in Melbourne, and Sydney, not QLD
Nothing in Queensland on the map. NT and SA.
looked like QLD on my tiny phone screen. grabs glasses ahh fuck me I was looking at the number, not the blocks.

Size 163000 square miles, about 3.5x what this guy was asking for and about 20x modern day Israel.
Population (now) 32,000.
