I came to Australia for a month's stay from India. All you go to do is just step out of the city to enjoy nature... Everything is so accessible. One moment you are under sky scrapers and right before you blink you are in the woods. This country has a really good variety.

I'd love to see Sweden and Norway.

And I’d honestly love to see most of Africa. Such an underrated continent, one time I tried sorting after top posts of all time on this sub and stopping when I found the first African one. I gave up after 20-30 minutes of scrolling.

Suitable-Jackfruit16 t1_j6foj7f wrote

Underrated history too. I made a post that discussed that in another group today. Africa’s contributions to human history and advancement are ignored, forgotten and even purposefully hidden.

I haven't been there in a few years, but it looks like the recent wet streak has been good for the area.

Isn’t there also one about things being upside down? So two jokes I think.

Complete with hideous watermark? How fortunate. I think I'll do the same but use Stable Diffusion to get rid of the watermark first. Who thought that was a good logo?

Australia has a lot of tropical and temperate rainforests.

EDIT: Fair points. TIL.

I'll be the pedantic one and say that this isn't rainforest.

KnifeBicycle t1_j68ahr4 wrote

The Yarra Ranges absolutely include temperate rainforest.

dragontattman t1_j6ajo4f wrote

You can be pedantic and wrong at the same time. The Yarra Ranges consist of temperate rainforests with giant tree ferns . Then in northern Australia we have tropical rainforest that is similar to the Amazon.

As an Aussie, who the fuck downvoted this?

dragontattman t1_j6alzz5 wrote

Fellow Australian here, to try and shed some light on your query: I believe reddit has many users that we Aussies would refer to as "fucktards".

These people get offended when they see evidence that goes against something that they already had a preconceived idea about.

These people don't want to learn anything. They just want to be content that they are very clever, and can not be proven wrong on anything.

When a fucktard reddit user who believes that all of Australia is a desert with a rock in the middle, and a town with a bridge on the right , sees a comment that proves this is not the case, .....that really stings. Because for a split second before they downvote the comment, they allow the feeling of doubt to slip in. They are forced to ask themselves the question: " if I've been wrong about this, is there a chance that there are other things I could be wrong about?"

But then they downvote the comment, and feel better about themselves.

Just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

We have more types of landscape here than you could imagine and also the second tallest tree in the world after the one in California :) we do have a lot of amazing beaches as well though

What tree?

shniken t1_j68eyy9 wrote

Mountain ash, it is actually arguably taller than redwoods. But all the tall specimens have been cut down

flexibeast t1_j68gqsu wrote

Centurion is a mountain ash, but yeah, depending on how you define 'tall', the average height of extant mountain ash in Australia is significantly reduced from what it once was.

Charlatangle t1_j688hw8 wrote

Latitude is the biggest determinant of climate, and Australia spans about 2,250 miles of latitude. Hence, varied climate.

My state alone has more forested land than any US state, but I don't think any of it would remind you of home.
