RE: A stroll through local parks: finding beauty in everyday nature
I really do love those old growth forests with dense undergrowth. There's not a lot of those in the Australian landscapes, and its definitely not as green as what you've captured here. There's a few bits and pieces that are a tiny bit more varied, but these scenes are what I consider to be pretty, because they're not common.
Meanwhile, all the British Colonists that came to Australia thought the landscape was wonderful, enchanting, and fascinating. I suppose so, when all they had was meadows and enchanting forests. Probably being able to see the horizon was a concept known only to sailors :D

It is funny how people like the sceneries they don't have themselves.
I would love to see the outbacknin Australia, living in the dense populated Netherlands.
And I also love the mountains. The highest point in the Netherlands is 322 meters above sea level.
But that is where holidays are for!
A lot of the bands I like are Dutch. I've been to the Netherlands but I've not seen any of them there :D
I have seen them when they have come to Australia though (Within Temptation, Epica).
Australia is mostly flat in most... cities, except for Brisbane, that's got hills everywhere, and still floods.
At least in NL, you're close to lots of varied scenery. The European countryside really is beautiful and varied. In Australia, it is the same everywhere you go.
