For those who are geospatially inclined, I just stumbled upon this neat little mapping tool that allows you to see an outline of one part of the world overlaid on another part. You can create a unique URL for all of your creations.
For example, I just did an outline of Manhattan Island and overlaid it on Adelaide. It really gives you a sense of scale. Central Park alone is around the distance from South Tce to Fitzroy Tce.

Enjoy as you please.

Neat mapping tool
It's = it is; its = everything else.
You're = you are; your = belongs to.
Than = comparative ("bigger than"); then = next.

Similarly, Google's just put together satellite time lapses from 1984 to 2012. You can watch Adelaide sprawl here: http://earthengine.google.org/#timelaps ... Lng&t=2.25
