Bet it'd be cheaper than the plane fare...

lizbee will no doubt be interested and amused to know that according to this page, if I started digging a hole in my backyard that went straight through the earth, I would end up in the ocean not very far from the west coast of Australia.

Mind you, it would be quite far enough out to ensure that I would never get to the west coast of Australia under ordinary circumstances, but heck, if I can dig a hole through the earth I can do anything, right?
