So, You Want to Chuck a Shrimp on the Barbie in Dublin? How Far is Melbourne from Ireland?
Ever looked at a globe and thought, "Man, I could really use a Guinness after all those Tim Tams"? Well, then you've probably pondered the age-old question: just how far is Melbourne, Australia from the Emerald Isle?
Fear not, mates! Because unlike finding a decent snag in Dublin (though we hear they're working on it), this is a question we can answer. But first, a quick geography lesson (because why not?): Melbourne is nestled on the southeastern coast of Australia, while Ireland's a whole continent over, chilling in the North Atlantic. That's a lot of ocean in between, folks.
The Great Divide (Down Under): It's a Long Way There
Alright, alright, enough with the suspense. Drumroll please... Melbourne and Dublin are separated by a whopping 10,700-ish kilometers (or about 6,650 miles). That's farther than your uncle Tony can throw a boomerang (and trust us, Tony has a mean throw).
Fun Fact: To put this distance in perspective, you could fit about 14 Tasmanian Devils end-to-end between Melbourne and Dublin. Or, if you prefer a more delicious comparison, that's roughly enough space to plant enough Vegemite to last a lifetime (though we wouldn't recommend it).
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
So, How Do You Get There? Don't Worry, We've Got You Covered
While swimming isn't exactly an option (unless you're some kind of super-powered wombat), there are plenty of ways to bridge this vast distance.
- Plane: The fastest option, though a bit pricey. You'll be sipping Guinness in Dublin in about 25 hours (with layovers).
- Ship: For the adventurous soul (and those who don't mind spending a month at sea). Pack your sea legs and a good book, because this will be a long journey.
- Time Machine: Not quite there yet, but hey, a future option for the truly impatient!
