I remember the same large expanse of ocean surrounding Australia depicted in E. and the "correct" picture, C. looked not just wrong, but wildly wrong. Who cares though, right? Why insist that you are the arbiters of reality? There may be "realities" and they may intersect and combine and who really knows, right?

I originally misunderstood what they were saying until it was clarified to me by someone early on in this thread.
I don't have any intention of being rude, nor do I think the people saying this are ''stupid''.
I'm trying to point out that if Australia and New Zealand were at different locations in their old timeline, then the whole world in the new timeline would be far more noticeably different than just the different location of the land.
The butterfly effect would have come into play millions of years ago from the split up of pangaea, and the slight variations in the causal chain of events would have produced a completely different series of events, which would make their old timeline practically unrecognisable from the new one.
Australia is quite famous for its deserts. Did people who remember it being drastically further south also remember it as being hot and arid ?
Did all the famous animals of Australia exist in the old time-line ?
Did they remember New Zealand as having a tropical climate ? Were there any different animals they remember in New Zealand that must've evolved differently owing to the tropical climate ?

I have NOT doctored Map C...it's the original and i found it here www.abovetopsecret.com...
I used that map because of the water background was easy to work with.
We are not stupid...we have just bad memories of Australia being in a different place...Now there are 5 Australians on the list, who are either playing a joke or just plain ignorant of their own country.
I removed the North East tip of Australia because i never really knew how to draw Australia myself, and it makes for a good story- Oh and others just don't know either. Despite it having ALWAYS been there, we just didn't know for sure, so I chopped it off.
Removing the tip without telling you that in the first post where because i wanted to see how many people I could get to agree with me. I could have removed Tasmania and had just as many people agree, because they just never bothered about it, and I know this.
Very few people makes the mistake that it's not noticeable so it seems WE have the same bad memories or just plain ignorance about Australia, much as most know it to be.

As others have said Snowi, just ignore the childish posters.

I'll give it a go at trying to explain what Snowi is trying to explain.
1. No one is saying that since time X, Australia has moved north. There is no need to pull out old maps showing its present location or to explain tectonics.

Don't take this the wrong way, but are you absolutely sure that you're not just looking at different projections of world maps ?
I say that, because some of the things you mention such as Greenland and Iceland looking much bigger are common in variations in projections.

You misquoted. You know what you did. You are not clever.

of course it can...some of my view's are probably different projections of world maps, but i know for a FACT that Australia are NOT a projection fault.
The same goes for Sicilia, North Africa and South America.

If it is a FACT then you have factual evidence to prove it.
Supply?
