Australia though? I suppose you could count the northern tip of Queensland, but it doesn't seem very "across".

I was thinking of saying Norway and New Zealand look OK because in both cases you start on the eastern border/coast and finish on the western one, unlike Queensland where you are still in the northeast by any definition. This gets close to my intent, but to make this work we have to accept that NZ has multiple east coasts, or a single discontinuous one. Why is it OK to cross the North Island in NZ, but not OK to cross some tiny island in Australia (e.g. cross King Island [1] from west to east)?

Not sure what's so strange about having two coasts if you've already accepted that New Zealand is composed of at least two important islands.
