I grew up in Dublin. I moved to Portrush, North Antrim, while in Uni, I now live in Perth, Western Australia, if I could get further away from my parents, I would.

Roughly 14,881 kms as the plane flies.

Crumble Froo

18,933.4 kms as the crow flies... that's without factoring in the zigzag plane directions.

Rented Mule

5000 miles or so.

Attol

I'm currently 1,886km from where I was born apparently. Can't really judge it from where I was brought up as that would include 3 countries.

The world being round and all , take a step left or right or backwards or forwards , and you are as far away from where are now as you can possibly get, spherically speaking.

I honestly couldn't be living any further away from home.

OK, antarctica is 122 miles further.

122 miles over a distance of 10000 odd miles is in the region of 1 to 2 percent.
A 1 to 2 percent difference is not discernible with a cursory "look at a map".

Hence the query.
I genuinely thought Australia was further.
It is not (by all of 1-2 per cent).
