Such a stark contrast to the actual suburb of Dandenong

I know it, it's just not funny any more

I can see the 1000 steps from my kitchen

Nah, that's Torak

Big gnarly water oaks everywhere

Yes… actually a month abroad. But it doesn’t matter because you clearly aren’t familiar with the joke that everything in Australia wants to kill you.

Where else do you get leeches? Not making fun of you, I've genuinely only thought about leeches when walking through areas that look like this. Where else am I supposed to be expecting leeches?

White knuckle drive.

Plus it's so close to civilization that a snake or spider bite would be trivial to treat.

There's a good chance that if you turned and faced the opposite way, this would back onto a major road or town centre.

Omg that’s beautiful! Breathtaking.

I went to school in Tallahassee and was always fascinated by the Spanish moss in the trees. They didn’t have anything like that where I was from.

....good question. I used to live in Ferntree Gully and I never thought about it. I guess maybe it's referring to ferns and trees, not fern trees?

Nothing dangerous here except clumsiness, I live 30 minutes from here

...Have you ever been to Australia?

Wait then what’s up with fern tree gully?!?

I'm from there! It really looks like that!

Nope. Australia.

We call em tree ferns, not fern trees :) you're right though, they are absolutely stunning

The only thing that could possibly kill you here is yourself, if you slip on a wet rock

Bunyip country.

Looks like a screenshot from green hell

Is this a real place?

Holy crap…

Prehistoric, gorgeous, just "far out man" vibes. I'd love to be there but at the same time I fear it due to Australia's reputation for killer creatures. This looks like a good place to find them in abundance.
