The ironic thing is a lot of those refugees who made it to Australia ended up in Melbourne, and Sydney, not QLD

    Looking closer and getting better at Aus geography, it's part of the Kimberley in the north-east of WA, so still a few hundred km west of Darwin.

    Size 163000 square miles, about 3.5x what this guy was asking for and about 20x modern day Israel.

    Population (now) 32,000.
