The vast Australian emptiness of the Nullarbor Plain is famous already as one of the world's most gruelling car journeys.

Now it has become the proud home of the world's longest golf course.

Eighteen holes spread over 1,365 km (848 miles) of outback terrain that can take as long as seven days to play - longer even, if you keep on hitting your balls into the scrubland or suffer the indignity of having them stolen by an errant dingo.

HOLY CRAP that is HUGE. I wonder how many people would actually have the time, let alone the money, to spend a whole week doing nothing but driving and occasionally hitting a ball. Seriously, the driving would probably take most of the fun out of it.

There are probably hotels currently being constructed in the golf course too.
