You've mentioned city populations - I'm talking entire state populations, in states that are magnitudes bigger than the ones you've mentioned. The scale is different. And living in remote Australia is no cakewalk on its own (worse healthcare, less job opportunities, worse services, more disadvantage).

And OP was saying that their options are nothing or flying across the country (Perth to Sydney is similar to LA to NY), or to the US.

Easy is relative. You might not think driving those distances in the US is fun or easy. OP was saying that if they had the opportunity to see online friends or a con at the end of it, driving a shorter distance than they currently have to to get to just the nearest city would seem easy to them, because it would be such an improvement over their current situation.

Which from your example it is - Dallas to LA (con and meet up central!) is a 21 hour drive by google maps. OP says they live 28 hours just from the nearest CITY, not the nearest city with a con or a friend.

*sigh*

Repeating for you who apparently sits in the back. OP is the one who said roadtrips in America were easy. The pushback is coming from the fact that they're NOT. They undoubtedly are easIER in the US than for OP, with ALL factors remaining equal, but there are barriers that exist in the US that do not exist for OP that impinge on the ability for MOST Americans to travel that are not visible on a map.

Repeating for those who seem incapable of imagination or understanding relativity: OP has said that the remoteness of their situation is so shit when it comes to fandom accessibility that the examples of difficult road trips commenters have mentioned sound easy to them. And that's knowing there are issues in both countries when it comes to the ability to travel and take time off.

*sigh* As I said in the comment above, yes it "sounds easy" to OP and we're trying to explain why it's not. All you're doing is trying to invalidate our lived experiences.
