My gran used to live in a coastal town an hour and a half away fom my town. Her back yard isn't fenced, its just gose out to this small feild shaded with spaced out trees, a bit ferthur beyond that was a wide river that went out to sea. Every time I went to the river, i could see the shore on the other side of the wide river. I used to belive that shore was the edge of new zealand, beacuae the town(newcastle) was on the southern east coast of Australia. I soon learned from my older brother when i told him that new zealand is much much further away than that.
