I'm hunting for a dinosaur in this pic. It looks positively Triassic.

Downright Permian.

Mate ain't roit

I thought Australia was orange

I was just coming to say that...lol

Less corrupt, but for some reason loggers still get away with a lot and are apparently immune from accountability.

And it’s roughly the same size of the continental US. Not all of the US is a desert like Utah, why would it be the same here?

Welcome to FernGully

Yeah this last year has been fucking great for snow (I was in a blizzard in high country Vic in fucking November), but in a bad year, it’s REALLY bad, and the resorts would not be able to survive those years without snow-making.

Pretty much all of Eastern Gippsland, Victoria used to look like this up until that point. They cleared it all out for livestock mostly. If you look at a map of Victoria you can actually see that the remnant pockets of forest encircles Melbourne completely. This Is because Melbourne is sitting on the floodplain of these prehistoric forests.

Meanwhile Parks Victoria is actually a government monopolized logging company under the guise of park services..

I really fucking hate this automatic response from boring unoriginal Redditors that comes up every time Australia is mentioned. Deaths from wildlife are incredibly rare here.

1992, on the road to Hana. There are so many waterfalls and I was so amazed seeing each one as we passed them that I became carsick and actually was as green as the water you see in the rear the picture. Good times, amazing place

It also was. The area was cleared in the early 1900s

Fun fact, this whole area was pretty much razed for logging in the 1880s-1930s.

Might not have a choice tbf. Doesn't look like there's a lot of light and it's not that long of an exposure. The slower water on the right is mostly unaffected.

Looks nice, i dont know if thats a road though.

There is this really cool secret lava tube right off the highway that opens up into an amazing bamboo forest

The spiders do get pretty huge.

Too many people live here.

Nah, this is in a different state with a far less corrupt state government.

The Dandenongs really are beautiful, aren’t they?

Hey I live here ! Beautiful
