Mileage

These metric terms take a long while to infiltrate our common usage.

We still run miles, even though race distances are in Kilometres, eg The Canberra Times 10Km Fun Run, The City to Surf 14 Kilometres.

Now how big is a hectare.

Even the old term of acre, was hard to vizualise.

Until Next Time.


One hectare is equivalent to: 10,000 square metres


Does that make it any easier to vizualise?
