Election 2016: Mapping the campaign trail

This election, are the Liberal and Labor leaders focusing on tiny towns, or sprawling cities? We've made this map to help you keep track of them.

The combined distance Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten have travelled this election would stretch around the Earth's equator more than twice.

The Earth is large; it's 40,075 km along the equator, and the Liberal and Labor party leaders have each travelled further than that.

The leaders have potentially travelled even further with the smaller journeys within electorates not counted here.

So to keep track of their travels, we made this map.
