Trivia

The distance from Paris to Vienna is about 1000km, which is about the same as the ditance from Brisbane to Sydney. Here though, there's another separate country between them, Switzerland.

It's faster to fly from Brisbane to Sydney than it is to fly from Paris to Vienna (and vice-versa) because the presence of the Alps means that the plane can't fly in a direct line between these two European capitals, and it takes about 2hrs.
