Its not just Australia and NZ that have changed. Africa has shifted itself North and is almost touching Spain. Many other countries have changed. I guess the Hadron collider really did destroy the World (my World) and has shifted me into this one. I'm not joking either. People that were dead in my World are now alive. Very scary stuff.

New Zealand has not moved, I think we would have felt it.
For those of you who disagree, please stop making jackasses out of yourselves, thank you.

also just wish to point out on the map above that there is no such thing as the "Southern" ocean.
There are the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic (and if you wish to get really technical the African Rift Ocean is forming and the Tethys (now the Mediterranean) is shrinking)
What makes you think that? Just because you are unaware of it?

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has not yet ratified its 2000 definition of the ocean as being south of 60°S. Its latest published definition of oceans dates from 1953; this does not include the Southern Ocean. However, the more recent definition is used by the IHO and others.

So in your past reality, there were no pillars of Hercules?
Out of interest, was it ever theorised that the Mediterranean was ever dry? Presumbaly not?
How wide do you remember the Straits of Gibraltar (if that is waht they were called) being?
Or, like everyone else, do you have totally perfect recall of world geography on a map being different but conveniently have absolutely no knowledge of anything else that may collaborate your story being different whatsoever?
And if some people you remember as being dead are now alive, presumably there are some now alive you remember as being dead? And some who are famous whom you have no recollection of at all, whilst leading political leaders and pop and film stars whom you remember are now totally unknown?
If someone wants to make up an alternative reality story, try doing more than 3.7 seconds research beforehand! I really cannot believe that the only people from this alternate reality all have total recall of world maps and no knowledge whatsoever of any other aspect of word geography, geology, biology or history.
If NZ was situated to the NW of Australia, please draw me a ]credible map of the tectonic plates in your remembered reality. And a list of main fauna and flora and the explanations - from your reaity - as to why such fauna and flora are unique to NZ. It's as simple as that.
Someone - just one of you - must have some info! All are you all ignorant of basic facts about your past world?

It would take too long to list all of the other changes to other countries.
There are a lot of people that are now alive. Billy Graham. George Wendt, Nelson Mandela, Joanne Woodward, Jon Voight and Dean Stockwell. John Forsyth died years ago. There are many others but i'm not going to list them.
