Australia is moving North

[Carole]

Due to tectonic shifts, the entire continent of Australia has moved 1.5 metres north over the past 22 years, putting it out of sync with global positioning systems (GPS).

To fix the problem, the government's announced that the country's latitude and longitude will officially be updated to reflect the continent's new position.

You're right, it is a few years old.  But first I had heard of it.
