Marysville is so beautiful! I am glad I live kinda close.

There's probably some house sized bugs in there..

Still lots of dead trunks visible from Black Saturday (2009).

Never been to Australia, I honestly assume it is mostly beach and drylands.
Very cool to see something that reminds me of home here in New Hampshire!
flexibeast t1_j67g1ar wrote
It's true we have a lot of dry bush, scrubland and desert, but we also have quite a bit of various types of rainforest - cf. this promo.
Marysville is near the Yarra Ranges National Park, which features temperate rainforest, together with stands of Mountain Ash, which typically grow to a height of more than 70m / 230 feet. Here's a photo of some of them alongside a road in the Black Spur area.

Beauty

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.

No architecture or any bloody human made stuff crafted by exploitation of nature can even come close to this beauty.
jimmux t1_j67ropi wrote
I haven't been there in a few years, but it looks like the recent wet streak has been good for the area.

I love Marysville and know exactly where the photo was taken from (literally one of my favourite spots).

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
StormThestral t1_j67xefj wrote
Not really. The big bugs are further north :)

Beautiful, will make sure to stay back longer next time I visit the area

if you would've told me there are this many trees in all of Australia I might not have believed you

KnifeBicycle t1_j687hx0 wrote
Australia has a lot of tropical and temperate rainforests.
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.

I live in Victoria and about a month ago I got stuck in a mall for about 45 minutes because it wouldn't stop pissing it down raining.

EDIT: Fair points. TIL.
I'll be the pedantic one and say that this isn't rainforest.

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

Hello from Marysville, Washington, USA!
Beautiful place you got there. :)

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.

As a fellow Aussie, certainly not me.
flexibeast t1_j68hfei wrote
For a brief overview of Australia that's more grounded in reality than mass media stereotypes, i suggest tvtropes.org's 'UsefulNotes' page for Australia (which also contains links to other 'UsefulNotes' pages about Australia, e.g. about our accents).

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.

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.

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.
