Aur Australians...

Yeah, I only had an approximate idea and didn't go looking. Figured it was about that long.

Our country's ties with England are not those of Commonwealth, but those of affection, excepting the period 1775-1814 when things were bitter. Cultural connection, over any extensive period of time, trumps political division.

Yet another reason why Americans and Australians frankly get along so famously.

And thus can flirt without resorting to semaphore flags and heliograph to reach across a gulf.
