If it was possible to drill a large hole through the earth and exit in Australia, would it then be possible after lining it to jump into it and see how far you would travel down it. If it was possible with assisted propulsion you would exit feet first. Weird eh!

Withour propulsion you'd end up bouncing up and down until you eventually came to rest in the centre of the earth. A bit like the worlds biggest bungee jump, but without the elastic and very hot at the end.

Save all that nonsense, just dig right round the edge. Lot cooler as well. You could pop up at various locations en route. Make a bit of a holiday of it.
