I met a foreign exchange student in Australia. I asked what they were planning to do for their break.

They'd recently taken up surfing, and couldn't decide if they wanted to surf the east, west, north, or south coast. So they had decided they would stay in Alice Springs, basically in the middle of all of them, and do day trips to each one.

I didn't have the heart to tell them that to get to the nearest ocean from there takes about two solid days of driving. Add another day to get to a beach with decent surf.
