How to get from Brisbane to Brisbane

If you go to Google Maps and ask for directions from Brisbane, California to Brisbane, Queensland, you will be told to "kayak across the Pacific Ocean". When I first discovered this, I hadn't seen this particular Google Maps Easter egg listed anywhere else, though I am familiar with the older USA-to-UK version that asks you to swim across the Atlantic Ocean. If you search Google for "kayak across the Pacific Ocean", you'll find the other references.

PS - Following the directions, you'll go via Hawaii and Japan.
PPS - You could easily add a stopover in Papua New Guinea too.
