I'm stunned nobody has started spinning lies about hoop snakes and drop bears yet. Are we slipping?
I haven't lived in the US, but have wandered (and lived) extensively elsewhere, and I'm yet to find anywhere with better and less crowded beaches withing easy reach of cities than Australia.
You might have to travel a bit further to climb than in some places, but in comparison to the UK for example, the crags are far less crowded and less polished, and the opportunities for exploration are amazing. |
