I live in the Antipodes and am fond of my pipe. Relatively new to the art of recreational pipe smoking.
n the Northern Hemisphere, "the Antipodes" may refer to Australia and New Zealand, and Antipodeans to their inhabitants. Geographically, the antipodes of Britain and Ireland are in the Pacific Ocean, south of New Zealand. This gave rise to the name of the Antipodes Islands of New Zealand, which are close to the antipode of London. The antipodes of Australia are in the North Atlantic Ocean, while parts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are antipodal to New Zealand.
I didnt think the Antipodes was such an all encompassing name, although it simply means the "other Foot". I live in New Zealand which is across the ditch from Australia where I lived for many years.Welcome ... where exactly are you from? I looked it up and it can mean anywhere on earth ?
