*checking my atlas*
I see here:
north: Cape York
East: Cape Byron
South: Wilson's promontory
Esat: something like Edel Land

So?
If it's right, I say:
What sense is the transcanadian highway?

Wilson's Promontry in the South is correct, but you didn't get the west right.

 

[Az]

The Trans-canadian Highway goes from west to east...

That I knew from my own.

Checking in my atlas I see that it links Victoria to St-jean de terre neuve.

Let me think of a question.....

West Papua

Surinam

[willemvanoranje]

Batavia and the Molucas and West-Papua were all Dutch India (now called Indonesia). It is cheating. Sorry. Just name them as the form they were in when they were conquered or became independent. NO CITIES!
