Yeah, i thought this was really interesting. At the time i thought it was an allusion to the island being close (in proximity) to Australia, but it could even have deeper conotations.
It also reminded me of Isaac and Ayrs rock - I recall Bernard taking Rose there to be healed. Isaac couldn't heal her but made reference to there being certian 'hotspots' elsewhere in the world. Seemingly he was referring to the island, although whether he knew specifically that he was referring to the island is another story.
But yes, it could also be an allusion to the Plane taking off from Oz...will the series end in Oz?
Also, has anyone played 'Risk'?
