Five things you probably don't know about Australia
1. Australia isn't just moving six centimetres north each year, it's turning sideways too
2. Sydney and Melbourne moved further apart after a 2004 earthquake
3. Your backyard moves up and down by 40 centimetres every day
4. Perth has sunk by five centimetres in the last 20 years
5. We know all this thanks to telescopes and black holes!
