The distance from the Equator to the Southernmost part of Australia counting Tasmania is less than 3000 miles. That's the same distance South of the equator as the Northern boarder of California is North of the equator. Almost all of Canada lies further from the Equator than all of Australia.
Australia is not "Down Under". It's more like off to the side.
