Well not surprising, Australia is 80% desert. For me personally I love the Northern Parts, NW Territory. I have friends in Perth which is also nice.
I have a particular affinity for the “Gold Coast”, came within inches of marrying a wonderful woman from there. Unfortunately custody issues with her kids made it impossible unless I was willing to move there and I couldn’t for business and practical reasons.
I’ve known women from all over the world and I’d have swam all the way just to see her smile again.

As, for, what’s the difference.
“The condor can be a wily and dangerous bird if cornered in its nest, so next on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom I’m sending Jim up the mountain to show how savage these majestic birds can be.”
Jim: “what?”
Marlin Perkins was a hoot. He’d stand there calmly narrating no matter how badly Jim and the gang were getting their asses kicked.
