Yes, it's crazy to consider how far north Earth's entire land mass is skewed. Australia is basically the southernmost landmass (apart from Tierra del fuego), yet it is located squarely under the Tropic of Capricorn; at the same distance north of the equator (Tropic of Cancer), you've merely reached Mexico, the Sahara desert, and the Himalayas.

For non-Australians, that's burn as in "burst into flames", not "your skin goes red". Go to somewhere like Cairns and you can hear people crackling as they walk down the street.
