@robpike@cosocial.ca My heart is entirely with the temperate rain forests of the Pacific Northwest. But still enjoyed walking among the eucalypts.

@robpike@cosocial.ca @timbray@cosocial.ca I like the idea, that we have a native forest, I reckon it’s true. But also Australian forests (in the south) are so dry, I feel like that’s the difference for me. That dry heat has a different vibe to anywhere else. Love it, but it isn’t lush.

@robpike@cosocial.ca @timbray@cosocial.ca My problem with Australian forests was that my stupid guide book had warned me of "crocodiles looking like logs", taking the joy out of stumbling through a wild forest full of fallen logs. 😂

@robpike@cosocial.ca @timbray@cosocial.ca I spent the first half of my life appreciating Michigan forests and then the second half appreciating Northern California ones. When I moved to the Netherlands the forests here reminded me of the ones from Michigan and that does feel comforting

@robpike@cosocial.ca @timbray@cosocial.ca When we stayed in the Daintree I mainly experienced a low-level sense of anxiety. Even the plants want to kill you. 😁 And a mouse ate through a backpack to get at some soap. It was unforgettable, though.

@robpike@cosocial.ca @timbray@cosocial.ca I mean, you are wise to always keep your wits about you, when in australian bushland. You never know if a drop bear is nearby. https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/
